A novel combined 15q11.2 duplication and a bisatellited supernumerary marker derived from chromosome 22: molecular characterization of the marker.

Supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMC) are heterogeneous group of chromosomes which are reported in variable phenotypes. Approximately 70% originate from acrocentric chromosomes. Here we report a couple with recurrent miscarriages and a SMC originating from an acrocentric chromosome.
