Reciprocal translocation 14q;21q in a patient with the Brachmann-de Lange syndrome.

Two balanced translocations in three generations of a pedigree: t(7;10) (q11;q22) and t(14;21) (14qter to cen to 21qter)1.

A reciprocal chromosome translocation between 7q and 10q and an unrelated Robertsonian translocation involving 14q and 21q were found in a healthy 44-year-old man, in his normal 18-year-old son, and in his mother. They were ascertained through the man's brother, whose grandson has Down's syndrome as a result of an inherited 14q21q translocation. To our knowledge, this is the second report of a ...

Dermatoglyphics and Reproductive Risk in a Family with Robertsonian Translocation 14q;21q

AIM The present study is carried out to evaluate the risk of giving birth to children with Down syndrome in a family with Robertsonian translocation 14q;21q, and to find the dermatoglyphic changes present in carriers of this translocation. METHODS Cytogenetics diagnosis has been made according to Moorhead and Seabright method, while the analysis of prints (dermatoglyphics analysis) was made w...

An eighteen month-old infant with Cornelia de Lange syndrome: a case report

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is an uncommon multiple congenital anomaly with unknown cause and recurrent risk and may be the result of an inheritance metabolic error. In classical form of the syndrome there is a recognizable facial appearance at birth although in children with mild disease this may be less obvious at birth but become more noticeable over the first three years of life. In t...

The Survey of Double Robertsonian Translocation 13q; 14q in the Pedigree of 44; XX Woman: A Case Report

Robertsonian translocations (RBT) are associated with an increased risk of aneuploidy. Single RBT carriers are the most common balanced rearrangement among the carrier couples with the history of spontaneous abortion. However, double Robertsonian translocations (DRBT), in which two balanced RBT occur simultaneously, are an extremely rare condition. A 9-year-old mentally normal girl with mu...
