Reciprocal translocations are common, and the translocation heterozygote (carrier) may have a risk to have a child who would be mentally and physically abnormal due to a segmental aneusomy. The carriers of balanced translocation mostly do not have recognizable phenotypic expression, however, they can produce unbalanced chromosome, which is transmitted to next generation through fertilization of gametes carrying the derivative chromosome. We describe a 4-year-old boy with partial 10q trisomy and distal 13qmonosomy. The patient presented with delayed milestones, dysmorphic face, congenital heart defect, renal and skeletal anomalies. The conventional cytogenetic analysis showed a 46,XY, add(13q) karyotype. The child inherited the unbalanced chromosome from moth... view moreĀ»
