A genetics evaluation was requested for a 6-week-old infant with multiple congenital malformations including mild craniofacial anomalies, truncal hypotonia, hypospadias, and a ventriculoseptal defect. Blood obtained for chromosome analysis revealed an abnormal chromosome 4. Paternal chromosome analy

✦ Synopsis
It has been postulated that the deletion of band 13q32 may be associated with digital malformations, especially thumb and big toe anomalies. We report a family where the mother is carrying a balanced translocation between chromosomes 5p15 and 13q22. The offspring have a specific and well-defined phenotype depending on which is the unbalanced chromosome in the karyotype. When a partial trisomy of 13q22<qter is present, the fetuses have polydactyly in the four limbs, and when the fetus is carrying a partial monosomy of this portion, an oligodactyly in all members can be observed.
