Two half-sisters with distal monosomy of the long arm of chromosome 6 (q25----qter) inherited by maternal translocation t(6q;17q) were investigated. The clinical manifestations of these patients are compared with eight cases reported in the literature for further characterization of the 6q-syndrome. The cytogenetic diagnosis of alterations involving small chromosome fragments and the different origins of this type of deletion are also discussed.
