We have used a panel of 13 DNA markers in the distal region of chromosome 14q to characterize deletions in three patients determined cytogenetically to have a ring or terminally deleted chromosome 14. We have characterized one patient with a ring chromosome 14 [r (14) (p13q32.33)] and two with terminal deletions [del (14) (pter-->q32.3:)]. The two patients with cytogenetically identical terminal deletions of chromosome 14 were found to differ markedly when characterized with molecular markers. In one patient, none of the markers tested were deleted, indicating that the apparent terminal deletion is actually due to either an undetected interstitial deletion or a cryptic translocation event. In the other patient, the deletion was consistent with the cytogenetic observations. The deleted chromosome was shown to be of paternal origin. The long-arm breakpoint of the ring chromosome was mapped to within a 350-kb region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene cluster (IGH). This breakpoint was used to localize markers D14S20 and D14S23, previously thought to lie distal to IGH, to a more proximal location. The ring chromosome represents the smallest region of distal monosomy 14q yet reported.
