A 21-year-old mentally retarded female with 10p12 trisomy is reported. She presented a slight craniofacial dysmorphism very similar to that found in the full 10p-trisomy syndrome. Other features usually found in full 10p trisomy, however, such as failure to thrive and internal malformations, were ab

β¦ Synopsis
A 10-year-old girl with partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 9 is reported; karyotype: 46,XX,del(9)(p22). This syndrome results in a distinctive craniofacial dysmorphism with trigonocephaly and contrasting midfacial hypoplasia. Partial monosomy 9p was the result of a paternal de novo germinal deletion in this case.

A 7-month-old male child with a de novo, seemingly balanced reciprocal 5p/16q translocation and karyotype 46,XY,t(5;16) (p14;q21), resulting from a maternal meiotic error, is described. The clinical findings in this patient are strikingly similar to those in the only patient with partial deletion 16
Two profoundly mentally retarded brothers with partial trisomy for the distal part of the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p25 to 3pter) are described. Their anomaly arose as a segregation product of a balanced t(3p-;18q+) translocation in the mother. Compared with the other cases of partial 3p trisomy r
