Ring chromosome 18 arises when breaks occur at both ends of the chromosome, forming a circular structure. Affected individuals may have MICROCEPHALY; HYPERTELORISM; intellectual disability, and speech impairment. The severity of the disorders depends on how much genetic material is lost from the breaks.
