β¦ Synopsis
We present two families with different distal long arm 5;lO translocations. In one family the propositus and his mother inherited the same derived chromosome 10 from the maternal grandfather who has a balanced t(5;lO)(q35.3;q26.13). The phenotype of both the affected patients is milder and only partially overlaps with that of previous cases of distal 10q deletion. Other previously reported cases of transmitted imbalance are also remarkable for mild phenotype, occurrence of deletions rather than duplications and a strong bias toward maternal as opposed to paternal transmission.
In the second family, the propositus inherited a derived chromosome 10 from his mother who carries a balanced t(5;10)(q35.1; q26.3) translocation; his clinical manifestations are consistent with an emerging phenotype for distal 5q duplications.

Tertiary trisomy, or double trisomy, is a rare occurrence. We present two individuals with a previously unreported tertiary trisomy for chromosomes 5p and 21q in an eight-generation pedigree. Their phenotypes are compared with other partial trisomies of either 5p or 21q from the literature. The prop
## Abstract A male infant with static antenatal encephalopathy and epilepsy was found to have a duplication of 5p12β5pter and deficiency of 10p13β10pter. Each of his parents was a carrier of a balanced reciprocal translocation. A third translocation was found in the maternal grandfather. The pedigr
## 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
