    Abstract

    We report on a 14-year-old boy with ring chromosome 20. Clinical manifestations included postnatal growth retardation, epilepsy, microcephaly, behaviour disorder, minor facial anomalies, small sella turcica, possible partial growth hormone deficiency, and mental retardation. A decreased activity of enzyme carboxypeptidase-L/protective protein (CP/PP) in cultured fibroblasts was demonstrated in our patient and a patient with a karyotype 46,XY,-14, + der(14)t(14;20)(14pter----14q32.3::20q13.1----20qter)m at. This suggests possible assignment of the CP/PP gene to the distal segment of 20q.
