A newborn infant with multiple congenital anomalies was diagnosed with an unbalanced translocation of chromosomes 1 and 5. Studies of parental chromosomes revealed a complex rearrangement in the patient's mother involving the exchange of terminal long arms between chromosomes 1 and 5 and the inserti
A balanced complex chromosome rearrangement (BCCR) involving 3 chromosomes with 4 breakpoints, was identified in a 36-yr-old woman who was studied because her fetus was discovered to have an unbalanced reciprocal translocation (7q;lOq). Analysis of high resolution bands and the application of fluore
In the last few years, attention has been focused on the use of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for prenatal diagnosis with chromosome-specific DNA probes in the second trimester. This technique is accurate, rapid, and detects the most common aneuploidies. We present a prelimina
