✦ Synopsis
This paper reports the case of a one-day-old male child presenting the typical features of Patau's syndrome. The cytogenetic study by means of conventional techniques and GTG and QFQ banding techniques showed that the chromosomal pattern of the propositus was 46,XYq+,-21,+t(13q21q) 15ps+,22ps+, and that the nondisjunction that originated the translocation and trisomy had occurred in the mother.

Instances of balanced Robertsonian translocations between the homologues of chromosome 21 were observed in two couples with a history of repeated abortions. The male partner of one couple and the female partner of another couple exhibited this anomaly. The translocation (21q21q) was found to be tran
Familial occurrence of 1/21 translocation in connection with trisomy 21 was described. The possibilities of inheritance of further chromosome rearrangements arising during the gametogenesis of persons with this translocation were considered.
