Chromosome 7q Deletion Syndrome 46, XX, del(7)(q34) with Hydronephrosis

ABSTRACT

Chromosome 7q deletion, relatively rare syndrome, was first described by de Grouchy in 1969. The most frequent clinical manifestations of a "7q deletion syndrome" include; low birth weight, postnatal growth retardation, mental retardation, developmental delay, microcephaly, congenital heart disease, hypotonia, bulbous nasal tip and abnormal ears. We report a case of 7q deletion syndrome with microcephaly, upslanting palpabral fissure, micrognathia, bulbous nasal tip, developmental delay and hydronephrosis.
