Tetraploidy in a liveborn infant.

We report a 3 month old boy with tetraploidy, found in peripheral blood and skin fibroblast cultures, with severely delayed growth and neurodevelopment, and with a cleft lip; these findings have not been described before. This report brings to seven the total number of liveborn infants with a 92,XXYY karyotype.

Cyclopia and sirenomelia in a liveborn infant.

Complete trisomy 9 in two liveborn infants.

Two unrelated newborn infants with multiple malformations were found to have complete trisomy 9 in all cells examined. In both, the phenotype was similar, consisting of characteristic facial appearance (microphthalmia, bulbous nose, micrognathia, cleft palate, low set ears), skeletal abnormalities (dislocated joints, flexion contractures of the fingers), cardiovascular malformations (persistent...

Trisomy 16p in a liveborn infant and a review of partial and full trisomy 16.

An abnormal female infant, who survived for 10 months with almost complete trisomy 16p and monosomy of sub-band 21q22.3, is described. The chromosome anomaly was the result of an unbalanced segregation of a maternal balanced translocation t(16;21)(p11;q22.3). The partial monosomy was considered to have had little or no adverse phenotypic effect. Cases with trisomy of chromosome 16 material are ...
