Abstract In 2005, the 3q29 Deletion Syndrome was identified and defined as a rare chromosomal anomaly that effects approximately one in 30,000–40,000 children. It has a complex neuropsychiatric profile but often results in developmental delay, intellectual disability, attentional deficits, classic physical traits, behavioral health disturbances, as well as social and emotional issues. Rarely has this syndrome been seen and evaluated in fraternal twins, only one of whom has the 3q29 Deletion Syndrome. This case study highlights the twins’ strengths and weaknesses and describes their neuropsychological profiles, including a comparison of their results of the Reitan-Indiana Neuropsychological Battery (RINB). Medication management and psychoeducational interventions are outlined.
