We report on an 8-year-old girl with congenital scoliosis (segmented hemivertebra between the second and third lumbar vertebrae) and psychomotor developmental delay. She has a de novo reciprocal translocation, t(13;17)(q34;p11.2). Congenital scoliosis is one type of structural spine deformation and

โฆ Synopsis
Apple peel intestinal atresia is an applepeel-appearing bowel obstruction of unknown cause. We describe a Japanese girl with the apple-peel jejunal atresia associated with apparently balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 2 and 3, t(2;3)(q31.3;p24.2)mat. The translocation breakpoints in the patient may become candidate regions for the putative gene causing apple-peel atresia. Alternatively, the association of the two abnormalities in the patient is coincidental because her phenotypically normal mother had the same chromosome translocation. Am.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a relatively common malformation of unknown cause with high mortality due to hypoplasia of the lungs and pulmonary hypertension. We studied a family in which two fetuses had CDH, and two pregnancies resulted in first trimester missed abortions. Both fetuses w
Primary anophthalmos is a heterogeneous condition. In its nonsyndromal form, it is usually considered an autosomal recessive trait. However, other causes such as chromosomal abnormalities and prenatal insults need to be considered. We report on a unique reciprocal translocation 46,XX,t(3;11)(q27;p11
Mosaicism for a balanced reciprocal translocation (BRTM) is rare. As far as we know only 26 cases of BRTM, demonstrated in lymphocyte cultures, have been described, five of which had an abnormal phenotype. Prenatally three confirmed cases with a normal phenotypic outcome have been described. Here we
