PG - 193-6 AB - Denovo deletions of 18p without other associated rearrangement are uncommon. For such a deletion to profoundly affect the fetus of a near normal phenotypic carrier would be rarer. We present such a case in which the chance of a cryptic rearrangement was ruled out by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. Possible explanations for wide variations in clinical expression are discussed. FAU - Tonk, V AU - Tonk V AD - Department of Pediatrics, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, USA.
