6p23 deletion mosaicism in a woman with recurrent abortions and idiopathic hypoprolactinemia

Am J Med Genet. 1992 Sep 15;44(2):220-2. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320440219.

Abstract

A woman with a history of recurrent abortions, idiopathic hypoprolactinemia, and an apparent 6p partial deletion mosaicism is described. The breakpoint in the short arm of chromosome 6 was in the p23 region. This deletion could have been caused by a fragile site in 6p23.
