Abstract
We describe the clinical and cytogenetic findings of two patients with deletions of the long arm of chromosome 2. One has an interstitial deletion identical to that found in a previously reported patient, although they are phenotypically dissimilar. The other patient has a terminal deletion, the first such deletion reported to date.
