| Abstract: | A 4-year-old boy with partial trisomy 11q resulting from malsegregation of a maternal translocation, t(11;22)(q23.1;q11.1), exhibits the following malformations: severe mental deficiency; growth retardation and hypotonia; brachycephaly with flattened occiput and forehead; facial dysmorphia; pre-auricular fistula. These features are in good agreement with the syndrome recently described for partial trisomy 11q. The translocation appears to be identical in that in three other families already reported. |
