A single mandibular incisor and an unusually narrow mandible and tongue were noted in an 8‐year‐old moderately retarded boy with 18p‐ (45, XY, der dic (18) (18qter‐p11.2::22p 11.2‐qter). While a single maxillary incisor, considered a minor feature of holoprosencephaly, was reported in three cases of 18p‐, reduction of mandibular incisors has been a very rare finding and has never been noted in similar cases.
