RESUMO

An unbalanced complex chromosome rearrangement with 10 breakpoints resulting in four derivative chromosomes (1, 2, 4, and 11) was found in a girl with severe phenotypic abnormalities, many of which are characteristic of Williams syndrome. The patient was monosomic for the region 4q33----q35.1 and thus the mapping of the syndrome could tentatively be restricted to this region.
