Ring chromosome 15 in a male adult with radial defects. Evaluation of the phenotype. 1980

P Meinecke, and T Koske-Westphal

A case of a 37-year-old male patient with r(15) is reported. At birth he was small and light for dates. His main features are: short stature, head circumference in the lower normal range, mid-facial hypoplasia, radial defects, and mental retardation. Evaluation of the phenotype led us to conclude that a wide spectrum of malformations is possible. There is apparently no strong correlation between karyotype and phenotype.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
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.
