Ring chromosome 15 syndrome

Hum Genet. 1979 Sep 2;51(1):43-8. doi: 10.1007/BF00278290.

Abstract

Two new cases of ring chromosome 15 are reported. A review of the nine cases described in the literature shows that ring chromosomes 15 are associated with a rather uniform phenotype characterized by slight to moderate mental retardation, marked pre- and postnatal growth failure, triangular face, and short hands and feet.
