RESUMO
Deletion of the long arm of chromosome 16 is uncommon. The causes of deletion are two: one is unbalanced translocation and the other is de novo deletion. In our case, a baby was born with characteristics of the deletion of the long arm of chromosome 16: distinct craniofacial dysmorphism, mild hydrocephalus, ventriculoseptal defect, coarctation of aorta, short neck, low set, small and posterially rotated ears and shortening of long bones. High resolution GTG and RBG banding analyses revealed a karyotype: 46, XY, del(16)(q13q22) de novo.
