β¦ Synopsis
We report the first case of an apparent de novo pericentric inversion of chromosome 2 at the breakpoints p13ql1.2 that was detected prenatally. Follow-up performed over 4 years showed phenotypic abnormalities including minor craniofacial dysmorphism, hypotonia, hearing loss, gustatory flushing syndrome, and severe developmental delays. The literature on chromosome 2 inversion is reviewed.

We report one case of de novo complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR) t(2q;3p;4q;13q) with at least five chromosomal breakpoints. This CCR was detected prenatally at 22 weeks of gestation, when mild echographic indications were disclosed during a routine examination in a female with no family histor
By prenatal diagnosis two apparently unrelated reciprocal translocations involving chromosomes 6/15 and 13/14 were revealed in a fetus in whom echography demonstrated an abdominal tumor. Pregnancy continued. At birth the child had dysmorphia and hydronephrosis, for which surgery was performed. The p
We studied four patients with inv(11)(p15q22) associated with malignant myeloid diseases by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with phage and cosmid probes mapped and ordered on 11q22-24. Two of the four patients had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia as the primary
