Isolated Chromosome 6q27 Terminal Deletion Syndrome.
Any change in either the short (p) or long (q) arm of chromosome six can result in a variety of disorders.  A two-year-old female child came to us with a history of sudden onset generalized tonic-clonic seizure. She had a syndromic face with frontal bossing and palpable thinning of the right lower lip and an apparent facial asymmetry while crying due to the hypoplasia of the right depressor angularis oris. Her joints were hypermobile and hypotonic. Chromosomal karyotyping exhibited a normal female karyotype, but pathogenic microarray genetic evaluation showed a loss of approximately 783 kb of the 6q27 terminus. She was diagnosed with chromosome 6q27 terminal deletion and managed with anti-seizure medications.  Chromosome 6q27 terminal deletion can present with an array of structural and developmental anomalies. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the typical phenotypic and distinctive clinical features of congenital chromosome 6q27 terminal deletion syndrome for early diagnosis and intervention.
