A member asked:

6q deletion, developmental delay and small head. mri was normal. does this indicate that brain development is not affected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The deletion defect is present in every cell of babies body. Its eventual effect on function will be variable.The only data you have from an MRI in this case is that the parts are there in the proper size and relationship with one another.It could have revealed a deformation in structure, but did not.The presence of developmental delay is your best indicator to expect problems later.
