β¦ Synopsis
We report a previously undescribed case of a de novo balanced translocation t(5;13)(q11;p11) and Franceschetti syndrome in a 3-year-old girl. The hypothesis that this unusual association might not be coincidental but rather due to position effect is proposed. Moreover the significant decrease of hexosaminidase B activity suggests the localization of this gene on the 5q11 band.

A case of partial trisomy 9 is described in a mentally retarded and dysmorphic child, confirming that this chromosome unbalance results in a characteristic clinical entity. This trisomy arose through aberrant segregation of translocation chromosome during meiosis in the patient's mother, who is a ba
