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

✦ Synopsis
An underweight male newborn revealed a complex pattern of abnormal findings including severe neurologic dysfunction, a catlike cry, defective ossification of the calvarian bones, hypertelorism, downward slanting palpebral fissures, epicanthal folds, a short and flat nose with a flattened bridge, broad thumbs, clenched fingers 3--5 on the right hand, simian creases, a congenital heart defect, internal hydrocephalus, and bilateral hydronephrosis. He died on day 26 of his life. Chromosome examination disclosed a maternally inherited reciprocal translocation between 5p and 7q, resulting most probably in monosomy of 5p15 and trisomy of 7q32 leads to qter (46,XY,der(5), t(5;7)(p15;q32)mat).

## Abstract We describe the family of a balanced translocation carrier mother with the karyotype 46,XX,t(5,14)(p15,q13). In two of her five children 1:3 segregation occurred, resulting in del (14q) and dup (14q). The propositus with the dup (14q) has some of the typical manifestations of this syndr
A female fetus with bilateral renal agenesis and fetal ascites was found to have partial trisomy 13 (pter-q12.3) and partial trisomy 16 (p13.2-pter), 47,XX,+der(13)t(13;16)(q12.3; p13.2)mat. The chromosomal aberration was due to a 3:1 segregation with tertiary trisomy transmitted from a maternal rec
