Description of a patient with isolated 7q34 terminal deletion and treatment with growth hormone: A case report

We report on a 10-year-old boy with severe psychomotor retardation and craniofacial anomalies. Using high resolution GTG banding, SKY FISH, and CGH analysis, he was found to be carrying a del(7)(q34) inherited from a paternal balanced translocation t(6;7)(qter;q34). Reported deletions of the terminal part of the 7q chromosome have not been associated with a clearly distinctive and recognizable phenotype. Frequent findings included: pre/postnatal growth and developmental retardation, microcephaly, eye anomalies, flat/broad nasal bridge with bulbous nasal tip, genital abnormalities and brain defects. In addition to the typical abnormalities, this case further provides evidence for a pituitary dwarfism. The patient was beneficially treated with human growth hormone.
