We present a prenatal diagnosis of a de novo homologous Robertsonian translocation involving both chromosomes 15. Amniocentesis was performed on a 36-year-old woman at 16.5 weeks of gestation. Chromosome analysis documented a 45,XX,der(15;15) (q10;q10) chromosome pattern. No evidence of a deletion w

Waardenburg syndrome [WS] is a combination of deafness and pigmentary disturbances, inherited as an autosomal-dominant condition. The full syndrome comprises congenital nonprogressive bilateral sensorineural deafness, heterochromia irides, white forelock, and patches of white, depigmented skin. All
Pachytene analysis was undertaken in a male patient heterozygous for a 14q22q Robertsonian translocation. The relatively low rate of XY autosome association led us to examine the relationships existing between the chromosomes involved in the translocation, the rate of XY-autosome association and the
We present a prenatal case with a 45,X,dic(Y;15) (q11.23;p11.1) karyotype and describe the inheritance pattern of the chromosome 15s. Chromosome 15 has an imprinted region and inheritance of both chromosome 15 from one parent results in either Angelman syndrome (AS) (paternal inheritance) or Prader
