β¦ Synopsis
An apparently balanced de novo constitutional translocation (7;13) (q36;q13) was detected on peripheral lymphocytes and fibroblasts of a 14-month-old boy. The patient presented a facial dysmorphism with hydrocephaly and mental retardation associated with a Wilms' tumor. A pure coincidence of random association cannot be ruled out but one can equally assert the plausibility of a minimal unnoticed deletion or a position effect.

We describe a 17-year-old girl with mild Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) due to 15q11-q13 deletion. The deletion occurred on a paternal chromosome 15 already involved in a translocation, t(Y;15)(q12;p11), the latter being present in five other, phenotypically normal individuals in three generations. Thi
