Familial partial 14 trisomy.

Familial partial 14 trisomy.

Four children in the same family have 47, +der (14), t(9;14) (p24;q21). Their mothers are sisters with 46,XX,t(9;14) (p24;q21). Clinical features of the children are similar to those of others reported to have partial 14 trisomy.

Partial trisomy 16 as a result of familial 16;20 translocation.

Although trisomy 16 is well recognised in spontaneous abortuses, it is infrequent in livebirths and there is little information about the clinical effects. We report two sibs with partial trisomy 16q resulting in infant death. Both children were severely growth retarded with small elfin faces, prominent foreheads, low set ears, abnormal external genitalia, and intractable diarrhoea.

Partial trisomy 7p associated with familial 7p;22q translocation.

A newly described partial trisomy of the short arm of chromosome number 7 is reported in a familial translocation between 7 and 22. The unbalanced translocation was found in one family member, the propositus, and the balanced form in 5 other members. The possibility of this translocation being a rare telomeric attachment previously undescribed in humans is discussed. Prominent clinical features...

Two Cases of Partial Trisomy 4p and Partial Trisomy 14q

We present clinical and cytogenetic data on 2 cases of partial trisomy 4p and partial trisomy 14q. Both patients had an extra der(14)t(4;14)(p15.31;q12) chromosome due to a 3:1 segregation from a balanced translocation carrier mother. Array analyses indicated that their chromosomal breakpoints were similar, but there was no relationship between the 2 families. Both patients showed prominent gro...
