Familial partial trisomy 15.

Abstract

A family, including two sibs with partial trisomy 15 is described. Maternal chromosome analysis revealed 46,XX/47,XX,+15q-, mosaicism. These findings are discussed in relation to seventeen previously published cases, some of which were sporadic and others due to maternal balanced translocation.

Translocation C:D involving chromosomes 11 and 14.

A translocation of material from chromosome 11 to chromosome 14 was identified in a 7-month-old male with microcephaly and developmental delay. The break-points appear to be on the long arm of chromosome 11, close to the centromere, and on the short arm of the 14.

Expression of esterase D and other gene markers in trisomy 13.

A gene dosage effect was observed for esterase D in a patient with trisomy 13. Isoelectric focusing of hemoglobin from the same patient showed three unidentified bands. A gene dosage effect for several other enzymes was not observed in two other patients with trisomy 13.
