Abstract
As more cases of complete or partial trisomy 16p are described, a clinical picture of these patients is emerging. A specific phenotype appears to be most consistent if the band 16p13.1β16p13.3 is present in triplicate. The hallmarks of this syndrome are microcephaly, a specific facial appearance with round facies, micrognathia, and small protruding auricles, and psychomotor as well as growth retardation. We report on a patient with partial trisomy 16p due to a maternallyβinherited balanced translocation between chromosomes 2q and 16p and describe the change in phenotype over 21 years, as well as the level of development achieved.

We report on a patient with psychomotor retardation and a pattern of malformations comprising single umbilical artery, craniofacial anomalies, severe truncal hypotonia, and lower-limb hyporreflexia.

We report on a case of dup(l6p) and review previous cases. The triplicated chromosome region leading to this specific syndrome lies in 16~13.1 p13.3. Most of the cases are inherited and the mode of segregation was found to be 3: 1 in half of the cases, but these observations might be due to biases.

The use of cosmogenic isotopes to determine surface exposure ages has grown rapidly in recent years. The extent to which cosmogenic nuclides can distinguish between mechanistic hypotheses of landscape evolution is an important issue in geomorphology. We present a case study to determine whether surf
