In a newborn boy with multiple malformations, a tandem duplication was detected at the distal end of the long arm of one human chromosome 1. The Giemsa bands, lq31 to lq43--44, were repeated serially. Since 5S rRNA genes are located at lq42--43, in situ hybridization of ~25I 5S rRNA with fixed chrom

Karyotypic analysis by R-banding after short-term culture, carried out on 7 cases of human endometrial adenocarcinoma, showed in 4 of these a trisomy or a tetrasomy for the long arm of chromosome I. In the 4 cases, these imbalances were due to rearrangements involving centromeric or para-centromeric
We report on a 5-year-old girl with a de novo interstitial duplication of chromosome 6q21-q23 and delayed development and speech with distinctive minor facial anomalies including a ''carp'' mouth. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe confirms that the extra material is
