Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) is a relatively common osteochondrodysplasia characterized clinically by short-limbed short stature with normal face, and radiographically by platyspondyly and dysplasias of epiphyses and metaphyses of the tubular bones. Recently, mutation of cartilage oligomeric matrix

✦ Synopsis
We describe a male child with craniofacial anomalies, postnatal onset growth retardation, microcephaly, multiple minor anomalies, hearing loss, and moderate delay of mental and statomotor development. He carries a previously undescribed tandem translocation between the long arm of chromosome 14 and the short arm of chromosome 21 that arose de novo. As proven by fluorescence in situ hybridization a microdeletion not detectable with high-resolution G-banding occured in 14q32.3, the terminal band on the long arm of chromosome 14. The resulting phenotype includes most abnormalities encountered in patients with terminal 14q32.3 deletions but in addition includes some characteristics of the ring chromosome 14 syndrome.

We report on a patient with a de novo translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 14 and 18. The translocation was studied using microdissection in combination with fluorescence in situ hybridization (micro-FISH). Five copies of the chromosomes involved in the translocation were isolated by m

We describe a 6 1/2-year-old girl with an interstitial deletion of chromosome arm 18q (18q21.1q22.3). Her clinical manifestations are a combination of those found in monosomy 18q syndrome and those of Rett syndrome. Cytogenetic analysis demonstrated a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 18, defin
