Abstract
We report on an 18βweek gestation fetus with 46,XX karyotype, gonadal agenesis, meningoβencephalocele, spina bifida, omphalocele, webbing of right upper limb, deformed right clavicle and right sided ribs, absent interventricular septum, hypoplastic aorta, hypoplastic spleen, and single umbilical artery. This case is similar to the one previously described by Kennerknecht et al. in 1997 and may represent a unique syndrome. Β© 2003 WileyβLiss, Inc.

Ring X chromosomes that do not undergo inactivation may cause malformations and mental retardation. We report on a fetus with anencephaly, total dorsal rachischisis, and diaphragmatic hernia that was found to have a mosaic 45,X/46,X,r(X)(p11.22q12) karyotype. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)
X;autosome translocations in humans, often associated with congenital anomalies or with gonadal dysgenesis syndromes, are informative for the study of X-linked gene expression and of the phenomenon of X chromosome inactivation. When such translocations occur in association with multiple congenital a
We report on the third confirmed case of trisomy 22 in a liveborn infant. High-resolution banding studies ruled out translocations such as the relatively common t(11;22). The infant shared many manifestations with other reported cases of trisomy 22 (e.g., growth deficiency, microcephaly, micrognathi
