Chromosomal Deletion Syndromes
Subtelomeric deletions
These deletions may be visible on karyotyping but are also sometimes small and submicroscopic and may occur at either telomere (the end of a chromosome). Phenotypic changes may be subtle. Subtelomeric deletions may be associated with nonspecific intellectual disability and mildly dysmorphic features as well as multiple congenital anomalies.
