Terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 10: case report and review of the literature.

We report on a newborn girl with a terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 10: del (10)(pter----q26). The phenotypic manifestations are compatible with those of the previously reported cases. In addition, the association with abnormalities of the urinary tract is reported for the first time. A clinical and neurodevelopmental follow-up is described up to age 18 months.
