A syndrome of mental retardation and multiple congenital anomalies, including craniosynostosis and overgrowth, was observed in two related individuals from a large kindred. Both of them carried a 15q25.1-qter trisomy associated with a subtle 13qter monosomy resulting from unbalanced segregation of a
t(15;21)(q15;q22.1)pat resulting in partial trisomy and partial monosomy of chromosomes 15 and 21 in two offspring

โฆ Synopsis
T w o sibs, carriers of unbalanced products of the translocation t(15;21)(915;q22.l)pat, are described. The sister had Prader-Willi syndrome due to deletion 15 (pter > q15) and partial trisomy 21 (pter > q22.1); her brother had partial trisomy 15 (pter > q15) and partial monosomy 21 (pter > q22.1). The translocation breakpoint on chromosome 21 was located proximal to the SOD1 gene, within a region of 4.0 c M (2.3 Mb) between the loci D21S217 and D21S213. The correlations between the clinical presentation and the molecular findings of the two sibs are discussed in relation to other patients with partial trisomy and monosomy 21. 0 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

## Abstract We describe the family of a balanced translocation carrier mother with the karyotype 46,XX,t(5,14)(p15,q13). In two of her five children 1:3 segregation occurred, resulting in del (14q) and dup (14q). The propositus with the dup (14q) has some of the typical manifestations of this syndr
