Background and objective Down syndrome (DS) is characterized by the presence of an additional chromosome; it is a typical chromosomal disorder causing intellectual disability in individuals. The diagnostic process for DS often involves conventional karyotyping, which can be time-consuming. Trisomy 21 and other chromosomal abnormalities may now be quickly and accurately diagnosed using quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR).

Members of the Mongol imperial family (designated the Golden family) are buried in a secret necropolis; therefore, none of their burial grounds have been found. In 2004, we first discovered 5 graves belonging to the Golden family in Tavan Tolgoi, Eastern Mongolia. To define the genealogy of the 5 bodies and the kinship among them, SNP and/or STR profiles of mitochondria, autosomes, and Y chromosomes were analyzed.

Pentasomy X is an extremely rare sex chromosome abnormality, a condition that only affects females, in which three more X chromosomes are added to the normally present two chromosomes in females. We investigated the novel clinical findings in a 1-year-old female baby with pentasomy X, and determined the parental origins of the X chromosomes. Our case had thenar atrophy, postnatal growth deficiency, developmental delay, mongoloid slant, microcephaly, ear anomalies, micrognathia and congenital heart disease.
