Terminal or interstitial deletion in chromosome 8 long arm in Langer-Giedion syndrome (TRP II syndrome)?

Hum Genet. 1983;64(2):163-6. doi: 10.1007/BF00327117.

Abstract

Reexamination with high resolution banding of the first ever published case of Langer-Giedion syndrome with 8q deletion as well as chromosome examination of a second case of this syndrome with different high resolution methods, confirmed our previous assumption of a terminal 8q involvement in the causation of TRP II syndrome.
