METHODS Patients This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board for human subjects research at Baylor College of Medicine and Affiliated Hospitals, and appropriate informed consents for children were obtained from their parents. The present research includes five unrelated children (two boys and three girls) aged from 1 to 9 years. Patients KCL1, KCL2, KCL3, KCL4, and KCL5 had an initial clinical evaluation for congenital anomalies, facial dysmorphism, hypotonia, postnatal microcephaly, unexplained mental retardation, and speech delay. They were referred for cytogenetic and subtelomere testing. The two boys were Hispanic and the three girls were of northern European descent. All subjects were born to healthy, non-consanguineous parents with no known family history of mental retardation, congenital malformation, or metabolic disorders. The clinical features are summarised in table 1 and compared with those observed in patients with a pure 9q terminal deletion as well as with the anomalies documented in reported OTCS patients. Patients KCL3, KCL4, and KCL5 had additional genetic testing for Prader-Willi, fragile X, and Rett syndromes,
