An 8-year-old girl with profound mental retardation and a neurologic syndrome associated with morphologic abnormalities was found to have a supernumerary small submetacentric chromosome. Several members of her family carried a balanced translocation t(12;18)(p12;q11), and the child's karyotype could
The activity of 13 cytoplasmic enzymes has been determined in fibroblast extracts from 9 triploid and 13 control lines. The results show a high activity for 2 X-linked enzymes, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase. These data, together with cytogenetic observations, support
A strain of fibroblasts partially trisomic for the larger part of 1q (Norwood and Hoehn, 1974) contains about 1.5 times as much fumarate hydratase (FH) as various control-strains. This gene dosage effect was ascertained by (1) comparative measurements of the specific activity; (2) relating the speci
