Severe limb anomalies with radial aplasia and hypodactylia are reported in a male newborn with 4p deletion syndrome. In apparent contradiction with previous reports, this finding indicates that the radial aplasia, as frequently observed in patients with ring chromosome 4 , seems to be more likely related to the 4p deletion, rather than to the 4q deletion.
