Partial trisomy 15 was observed in a newborn with malformations of the head and extremities. A t(5;15) translocation was found in the mother and maternal grandfather.

β¦ Synopsis
A supernumerary extra chromosome of maternal origin, precisely described from QM- and C-banding patterns, was studied in a mentally defective boy with a severe convulsive disorder. This case is considered to represent a specific phenotype of trisomy 15q1. The suggestion that in cases of partial trisomy 15q different phenotypes are due to the second chromosome involved in interchange is supported by the observation of a tertiary trisomy in 2 sibs. It resulted from a balanced reciprocal translocation in the mother t(8q+15q--) and caused an unusual malformation syndrome (mental deficiency, cleft lip and palate, funnel chest, hypospadias).

A dysmorphic female born with partial trisomy of the proximal segment of the long arm of chromosome 14 had 47 chromosomes. The extra one was acrocentric, smaller than the D group, and bigger than the G-chromosome group. By GTG banding it was identified as a deleted chromosome 14, the karyotype being
A new case of partial trisomy 3q is reported in a 5-year-old female with severe congenital malformations and psychomotor retardation. A review of the literature, with a total of 11 patients, allows us to conclude that the clinical picture reminiscent of the Cornelia de Lange syndrome is caused by th
Five cases from two nonrelated families with partial trisomy 10q due to a reciprocal translocation t(10;17)(q25;p13) and t(10;11)(q24;q23), respectively, are reported. The phenotypic findings are compared with those of 17 previously published cases; the clinical data justify the conclusion that case
A 5-month-old female was found with a 16q-trisomy; her mother was the carrier of a balanced translocation 46,XX,t(15p+; 16q-)(15p12;16ql 1). This is the first report in the literature of a liveborn with this chromosome abnormality. Chromosome 16 has frequently been found in a trisomic state among m
