Two unrelated patients with multiple congenital malformations and severe mental retardation were found to be carrier of a non-mosaic ring 22 chromosome abnormality. These observations further confirm the phenotypical variability of r(22) expression, which makes unreliable the attempts to delineate a clinical profile of the syndrome
