Familial t(11;13)(q21;q14) and the duplication 11q, 13q phenotype.

Cases of duplication of distal 11q or proximal 13q have been reported independently. A specific translocation resulting in duplication of distal 11q, [der(22)t(11;22)(q23;q11)], has been documented in over 40 cases. We report on a male fetus with chromosomal excess of both distal 11q and proximal 13q resulting from a familial translocation.

A case of de novo translocation 7; 10 and the duplication 7p, deletion 10p phenotype.

A patient with a de novo duplication of 7pter-->7p12 and deletion of distal 10p resulting from an unbalanced translocation is described. The patient's phenotype demonstrates features associated with other reported cases with similar imbalances which include hypertelorism, Dandy-Walker malformations, ventricular septal defect, bilateral cleft lip and palate, abnormal hand positions and clubbed feet, hypospadias, and imperforate anus.

Trisomy 18 and 18p- features in a case of isochromosome 18q [46,XY,i(18q)]: prenatal diagnosis and autopsy report.

This paper reports the prenatal diagnosis and autopsy findings of a case of true isochromosome 18q [46,XY,i(18q)] with severe cephalic malformations. Comparison is made with other cases of i(18q).
