A child with a 7q + chromosome abnormality had a father with 0.5% mosaicism for a balanced 7;14 translocation. This mosaicism was not found in 100 fibroblasts. This degree of mosaicism is well below the limits usually detected by standard clinical cytogenetic protocols. However, the one abnormal cel

X inactivation is the process by which mammalian females achieve dosage compensation by transcriptionally silencing one X chromosome. In chromosomally normal females, this process is random. However, most females with one abnormal X chromosome demonstrate complete skewing of X inactivation, presumab
## Abstract We report a family in which six individuals were carriers of a translocation between chromosomes 8 and 12. The balanced carriers had a chromosome constitution: 46,XX or 46,XY,t(8;12)(021;p13). Six individuals in five generations were mentally retarded. Three of them were examined; their
