โฆ Synopsis
Monosomy 7 or partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 is frequently described in children with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloblastic leukemia. Parental origin of chromosome 7 in children with sporadic monosomy 7 has been examined very rarely. To investigate if monosomy 7 shows parent-of-origin, we have studied a female child with monosomy 7 and de novo myelodysplastic syndrome by a series of polymorphic polymerase chain reaction markers. We found loss of maternal allele and discussed the results with the previous reports. Am.

## Background: Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (nf1) are at increased risk of developing benign and malignant solid tumors as well as hematologic malignancies, including de novo juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia, monosomy 7 syndrome, and acute myelogenous leukemia. the normal nf1 allele
We describe an abnormal premature male infant with mosaic monosomy of chromosome 22. He had a unique facial appearance, similar to those with DiGeorge syndrome, and hypertonicity, limitation of extension at major joints, and flexion contractures of all fingers.

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by minor facial anomalies, mental retardation, and multiple congenital abnormalities. Biochemically, the disorder is caused by deficient activity of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, which catalyzes the reduction of the
