✦ Synopsis
A 2-year-old male, birth weight 3,100g with malformations and severe mental retardation had the karyotype 46,XY,der ( 9), (9qter--+9p24::18q21-->18qter)mat. Clinical features were round face, low set ears, high hair implantation, short and round nose, retrognatia, bilateral cryptorchidism, severe psychomotor retardation, pieloureteral left stenosis with normal renal function. Fingernails were normal, and clinodactyly was not present. The mother was a carrier of the translocation 46,XX,t(9;18),t(9;18)(9qter--~9p24: :18q21---~18qter; 18pter --~18q21::gp24--~9pter). Further analysis of the family is planned. We would like to receive from or to send to colleges full information for eventual joint publication on similar cases.

Partial trisomy (interchromosomal duplication) of the short arm of chromosome No. 12 was observed in an infant girl with psychomotor retardation, prominent forehead, ptosis of the right eyelid, esotropia/exotropia, flat nose, hypotonia and other anomalies. A comparison of her features with those in
Partial 18q12 trisomy, due to intrachromosomal duplication, was found in a severely mentally retarded boy. The finding of nonspecific dysmorphism in this patient demonstrates that trisomy of band 18q12 is accompanied by neither a full nor an incomplete 18 trisomy phenotype, indicating that this phen
A malformed male newborn with partial trisomy for the distal part of the long arm chromosome 14 (14q23 leads to 14 qter) is described. This anomaly arose as a segregation product of a balanced t(14q-,11q+), translocation in the father.
