Abstract

We report a malformed female infant with de novo interstitial deletion of 4q[46,XX,del(4)(q27q28.2)]. The MN blood type analysis of the family members showed that the patient had an intact blood group-MN locus. The locus of the gene responsible for the MN antigen activity is confined to a 4q28.2-4q31.1 segment on the basis of the result of this patient and the previous mapping data.
