Interstitial microdeletions of the distal 2p are very rare. A small number of cases have been reported in the literature, involving regions 2p23-p25, 2p23-p24 and 2p24-p25. The most common symptoms involve: intrauterine growth retardation, developmental delay, mental retardation, microcephaly, craniofacial anomalies, musculoskeletal abnormalities, congenital heart defect and hearing impairment. Herein we report on a Caucasian girl, born after in vitro fertilization with discrete facial dysmorphism, growth failure, borderline neurodevelopment and congenital heart defect. A de novo pericentric inversion of chromosome 2 was identified by routine karyotyping. An interstitial microdeletion of 2p24.3p25.1 was found by array karyotyping and following FISH analysis revealed that the deletion affects the inverted chromosome 2. This case illustrates the utility of high resolution methods to identify submicroscopic quantitative changes in structurally rearranged chromosomes. The precise determination of the genetic content of small quantitative changes in the genome provides important information for genetic counseling, enabling to predict the course of disease and the planning of adequate therapy and prophylaxis in affected families
