Two siblings with interstitial deletion of chromosome 14 not associated with ring formation were reported. Clinical features of the patients included failure to thrive, severe mental retardation, microcephaly, round face, hypertelorism, micrognathia and high-arched palate. They were common also in five previously reported cases. Other peculiar finding was hyperthyrotropinemia in their neonatal periods; mild hypothyroidism was found in the elder sister, and hyperthyrotropinemia was only transient in the younger sister. By a high-resolution G-banding analysis, the maternal origin of the chromosome with the deletion was noted.

D008607	Intellectual Disability	Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D013972	Thyrotropin	A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
