Abstract
This multicentric study presents 6 cases of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (deletion of 4p) detected after a sonographic prenatal diagnosis of early intrauterine growth retardation with fetal abnormalities. Standard karyotyping on regular G-banding during pregnancy was normal in half of the cases. Fortunately, the associated sonographic signs of a typical face, cystic cerebral lesions, midline fusion defects and bilateral renal hypoplasia may help to refine specific indications for high-resolution banding and molecular analysis by in situ hybridization.
