Background: Interstitial microdeletions in 1p are extremely rare, as very few cases have been reported postnatally and only one prenatally, yet. There is a variability of phenotypic findings such as hypotonia, facial dysmorphisms, mild microcephaly, with being most common developmental delay.
Case Presentation: The present case involved a female fetus with an interstitial deletion on 1p, presenting with micrognathia in the 2nd trimester routine ultrasound examination. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) revealed a 2,7 Mb deletion located on 1p34.3 which could not be detected by standard karyotyping.
Conclusions: This is the first prenatal case of an interstitial deletion in 1p34.3 with facial dysmorphism detected by a-CGH. Due to the use of a-CGH techniques submicroscopic imbalances could be detected, and a refined genotype-phenotype correlation could be achieved.
