The 'McClintock mechanism' of chromosome breakage and centromere misdivision, in which a deleted chromosome with its concomitant excised marker or ring chromosome is formed, has been described in approximately one dozen reports. We report a case of a girl with short stature, developmental delay, and dysmorphic features.
