The anonymous DNA probe L32, which defines the D8S48 locus within the Langer-Giedion syndrome chromosome region on the long arm of chromosome 8, was used to search for a common restriction fragment length polymorphism. A HindIII and an MspI polymorphism were detected (polymorphism information contents 0.25 and 0.19, respectively). Both polymorphisms were informative in the family of a Langer-Giedion patient carrying a de novo interstitial deletion 8q23-24.1. Lack of transmission of a maternal haplotype indicates that this deletion occurred during maternal gametogenesis. This finding contrasts with the frequent paternal origin of mutations in other microdeletion syndromes.
