Summary
A fetal case of partial trisomy 6q(q21-qter) was reported. Renal dysplasia and coarctation of the aorta with persistent left superior vena cava were detected in the fetus in addition to the typical external phenotype, which has been described in children and adolescents with partial trisomy 6q. The significance of associated abnormalities was briefly discussed.
