## Abstract We report an unusual case of a familial complex chromosome rearrangement (CCR), ascertained through prenatal diagnosis. The fetus carried an apparently balanced CCR with a recombinant 3βsegment chromosome derived from two paternal reciprocal translocations involving both homologs of chr
We describe a complex and unique, de novo apparently balanced translocation involving chromosomes 4, 18, and 21 with 4 breakpoints, in a patient who was referred for an evaluation of possible fragile-X syndrome. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed the complexity of the rearrangement
In order to determine the significance of trisomy mosaicism of an autosome other than chromosomes 13, 18, 20, and 21, 151 such cases diagnosed prenatally through amniocentesis were reviewed. These rare trisomy mosaicism cases include 54 from 17 cytogenetic laboratories, 34 from a previous North Amer
