Partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 4 was observed in two related patients, a child aged 2 years and a woman aged 42. Cytogenetic investigation revealed that their chromosome anomalies were due to segregation of a familial balanced translocation t(4;18)(q27;p11). Some clinical and cytogene

β¦ Synopsis
Clinical and cytogenetic data of two related patients, both trisomic for the segment 4q27 to qter, are reported. Familial studies determined that the mothers of the two probands were carriers of the same balanced translocation between chromosomes 4 and 18. Altogether, two partial trisomies 4q, five balanced karyotypes, and one 45,X0 karyotype were found in the family. The 18 cases reported to date are reviewed with respect to the karyotype-phenotype correlation.

A woman with a balanced translocation t(3;11)(p27;q23) has had three abnormal children. The first child died in infancy, and of the two survivors who show segregation of the derivative maternal translocated chromosomes, one exhibits partial trisomy 11q and the other partial monosomy 11q. The two cas
