Abstract
Two patients with partial monosomy of the short arm of chromosome 8 are described. Their clinical features were very similar. Comparison with previously reported patients confirms the existence of an 8p- syndrome. The importance of cytogenetic investigations in all infants with major congenital heart defect and facial dysmorphism or microcephaly or both is stressed.
