Abstract |
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a multiple malformation syndrome associated with mental and developmental retardation, resulting from a deletion at the short arm of chromosome 4(4p16.3). We report a 11-year-old girl with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, who was presented with severe growth and mental retardation along with characteristic features-frontal bossing, hypertelorism, downslanting of the palpebral fissures and fishlike lips. The diagnosis was confirmed by fluorescent in-situ hybridization(FISH). |
