A 40-year-old woman had amniocentesis at 16 weeks' gestation. Chromosome studies based on 15 colonies showed a de novo 46,X,t(Y;15)(p11.211.3;q11.2) karyotype. Using C-and Q-banding, the additional material on 15 appeared to be Yqh heterochromatin. The satellite on the small derivative chromosome wa

β¦ Synopsis
A karyotype 46,X,der(X)t(X;15)(p22.2;q11.2) derived from a maternal translocation X;15 was ascertained in a female fetus through an abnormal triple screen test at 16 weeks that gave a 1/56 risk for Down syndrome. The pregnancy was terminated at 19.5 weeks and anatomopathologic studies showed fewer malformations than other fetal trisomies 15. This is the first prenatal identification of an unbalanced t(X;15).

## Abstract A prenatal tumor located in the lumbar paravertebral area was discovered during a routine ultrasound examination at 32 weeks of pregnancy and surgically removed at 4 months of life. The histopathological diagnosis was first suggested to be an infantile desmoid fibromatosis. The tumor ka
Identification of the t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2) and the fusion gene products, SYT-SSX1 and SYT-SSX2, associated with a high proportion of synovial sarcomas, has been shown to be a useful diagnostic aid. This study demonstrates the application of dual colour fluorescence in situ hybridization to paraffin-
