A case of partial trisomy 9 is described in a mentally retarded and dysmorphic child, confirming that this chromosome unbalance results in a characteristic clinical entity. This trisomy arose through aberrant segregation of translocation chromosome during meiosis in the patient's mother, who is a ba

β¦ Synopsis
A case of an inherited type of D/G translocation D1-trisomy syndrome was described. A female proposita who had the clinical signs of D1-trisomy syndrome was found to have a chromosome complement of 46,XX,--G,+t(DqGq). examination of Q- and G-stained karyotypes revealed that the chromosomes involved in the translocation were members of Nos. 13 and 22, or t(13q22q) with breaks at p12 of both chromosomes. C-stained figures also showed a large heterochromatin block in its centromeric region. The t(13q22q) chromosome was transmitted from the paternal grandmother of the proposita through at least three generations.
