The availability of high-resolution microarrays has greatly improved the detection of genomic rearrangements in patients with multiple congenital anomalies, developmental delays, and mental retardation [Ming et al., 2006; Stankiewicz et al., 2007; Shaffer et al., 2007; Sharp et al., 2008]. These abnormal phenotypes are commonly due to an alteration of one or more dosage-sensitive gene (s) within the affected region. Alternatively, deletions may unmask an autosomal recessive mutation carried on the non-deleted allele, which has led to the discovery of several genetic and biochemical abnormalities inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion [Ludlow et al., 1996; Garshasbi et al., 2008; Bisgaard et al., 2008]. We describe here a male patient with multiple congenital anomalies who was diagnosed with Peters plus syndrome (PPS). He was found to have a heterozygous deletion by microarray analysis that included the B3GALTL gene. Sequencing of B3GALTL demonstrated a mutation on the non-deleted allele that has been seen previously in PPS patients [Lesnik Oberstein et al., 2006; Kapoor et al., 2008; Reis et al., 2008].The patient was evaluated at one month of age for hydrocephalus thought to be due to aqueductal stenosis, thin corpus callosum, corneal clouding, dysmorphic facial features, bilateral cryptorchidism, and a sacral dimple with tethering of the spinal cord. His birth history was significant for a premature induced vaginal delivery at 33 weeks gestational age to a 23 yo G4P1→ 2 female (two prior first trimester spontaneous miscarriages) due to intrauterine growth restriction and poor scores on a biophysical profile. His birth weight and length were both at the 10th centile, and his head circumference was at the 80th centile. An echocardiogram performed due to the presence of a murmur was normal except for mild peripheral pulmonic stenosis. Radiological studies included a skeletal survey that revealed platybasia and toes of equal lengths, and a renal ultrasound showing duplication of the left renal collecting system. The family history was noncontributory. His parents were nonconsanguineous and of German, Irish, and Lithuanian decent. A repeat genetics evaluation at
