Evidence for a new microdeletion syndrome in 15q21.

We report on the fourth known case with an interstitial deletion in 15q21. In the present case the breakpoints have been determined by GTG-banding, microdissection and the recently developed multicolor banding (MCB) technique as 15q21.1-q21.

First case of trisomy 13 plus mosaic trisomy 1q.

Objectives: In a case with severe sonographic abnormalities followed by missed abortion in week 14 + 5 days, cytogenetic analysis was performed on placental tissue. A mosaic karyotype 47,XY,+13,add(1)(q44)[3]/47,XY, +13[9]/46,XY[36] was detected. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the additional material on chromosome 1q.
