A Y;12 translocation, resulting in extra Yq material and partial monosomy 12p, was found in a 7 1/2 year old boy. He showed growth and mental retardation and several of the congenital anomalies seen in the 12p deletion syndrome. LDHB activity, the gene for which is located at 12p12, was normal in serum, in accordance with the suspected 12p13 deletion in the patient.

Previous reports suggested the existence of a del(12p) syndrome. Phenotypic abnormalities associated with del(12p) appear to be mental retardation, microcephaly, and micrognathia. The patient with del(12p) reported here was normocephalic and large for gestational age. She probably had sclerocornea, a finding not previously associated with del(12p). Phenotypic variation in del(12p) syndrome is probably caused by differences in the size of the deleted segment and/or the presence or absence of mutant genes on the homologous 12p segment.

Only 12 cases with a cytogenetically visible deletion of the short arm of chromosome 12 (12p) have been reported so far. The difference in clinical features observed in these patients indicates that there is no distinct phenotype associated with this short arm deletion, although the existence of a del(12p) syndrome was previously suggested. Besides those 12 reports, only two patients have been described with a subtelomeric 12p deletion; both present in the same family in which the son showed a mild phenotype of moderate mental retardation and behavioral problems and his carrier mother had no apparent phenotype. In this article, we describe the third known patient with a subtelomeric 12p deletion in a young boy with mental retardation and microcephaly, and review the literature.
