We report on a de novo 7q36 deletion in a 3-month-old girl with manifestations of the 7q terminal deletion syndrome. Only minimal findings of holoprosencephaly (HPE) were present since only a partial corpus callosum hypoplasia was seen on a magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain. Extensive fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that the HPE3 critical gene region, inclusive Sonic hedgehog (SHH), En2 (HOX1), and HTR5A, was deleted. A review of 33 other patients with a de novo terminal 7q deletion and the different types of HPE manifestations within these patients will be presented.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
