✦ Synopsis

In a recent report of chromosome analysis of a 17-week fetus, triple trisomy was found, i.e. 4 9 , X X X , + 5 , + 1 3 (Pettenati and Rao 1991). The authors comment on the rarity of this event since they found only one other reference to such a finding in an abortus with 49,XX,+2, + 5 , + 8 (Kajii et al. 1980). In another report mosaic 46,XX/49,XX,+6,+21,+22 was confined to the chorionic villi sample, and the newborn was normal 46,XX (Kennerknecht and Terinde 1990). We are adding three other references to triple trisomy: a hydatidiform mole with 4 9 ,
