β¦ Synopsis
We report on an infant girl born with complete trisomy 22 and left hemifacial microsomia, ear anomaly, and limbal and epibulbar complex choristoma. Trisomy 22 was cmfirmed by prometaphase chromosome analysis and in situ hybridization. This patient extends the list of chromosome abnormalities associated with apparent Goldenhar sequence and emphasizes the importance of chromosome analysis in the investigation of patients with this condition. A detailed ophthalmopathological investigation is reported.

I have read with great interest the paper by Crowe et al. [1997]. It is an excellent clinical and cytogenetic review of trisomy 22 in its various manifestations. I only wish to point out that the first proven case (by G-banding) of trisomy 22 appeared in 1973, in a paper in which we demonstrated the
In a case of mosaic trisomy 22 the trisomic cells were detected primarily in fibroblasts. Results of initial lymphocyte chromosome analysis were normal. However, mosaicism was suspected because the patient had hypomelanosis of Ito, hemiatrophy, failure to thrive, and mental retardation. Mosaicism wa
