✦ Synopsis

Sex chromosome anomalies have been associated with psychoses, and most of the evidence is linked to the presence of an additional X chromosome. We report a patient with XYY chromosome anomaly who developed schizophrenia.

Ultrasound evidence for aneuploidy may be found in almost every organ of the fetus and can be used to modify the risk of aneuploidy. The diagnosis of these minor anomalies on second-trimester ultrasonography will increase the risk of an abnormal karyotype whereas the absence of these findings may re

We report on a patient with DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) phenotype or anomaly and an unbalanced translocation [45,XY,-10,-22, +der(10),t(10;22)(p13;q11)] resulting in monosomy of 10p13-pter and 22q11-pter. Because both regions involved in this rearrangement have been implicated in DGS, we performed a mol
