Results The patient was born with congenital heart disease, the fragment heterozygosis loss (FHL) sized in approximate 0.6 Kb was detected in proband’s 12q24.21 region, and FHL was inherited from the mother, while Holt-Oram syndrome was diagnosed in combination with the clinical manifestations. Conclusion It is necessary to pay attention to Holt-Oram syndrome and possibility of heart disease in children with skeletal malformation of upper, with the aim of promoting early diagnosis & treatment and genetic counseling on children.
