A del(13)(q13q21.1) was found in a patient with bilateral retinoblastoma and mental retardation. The father was carrier of an ins(16;13)(q12.2;q13q21.1) which also was present in several other family members, and responsible for another case of del (13q)-retinoblastoma and two cases of trisomy for the inserted segment. This second del(13q) patient was also carrier of a balanced t(11;22).

A further case of trisomy 20 mosaicism found at amniocentesis is presented. Pregnancy was terminated, the fetus showed facial dysmorphia and minor cardial and renal anomalies. 19 published reports of true trisomy 20 mosaicism at amniocentesis are reviewed. Five pregnancies resulted in obviously normal newborns. The significance of mostly minor anomalies found at autopsy of 7 fetuses remains unclear. With regard to genetic counselling the significance of trisomy 20 mosaicism is summarized as follows: (1) true trisomy 20 mosaicism in amniotic fluid cells reflects mosaicism of the fetus; (2) severe malformation is not a major feature of trisomy 20 mosaicism; (3) the risk of mental retardation is still undetermined, due to limited experience. However, there is no definite proof that the condition is harmful at all.

A 6-month-old boy with trisomy 10pter----q11 is reported. He presented facial dysmorphism very similar to that found on most other cases of trisomy 10p syndrome, dextrocardia, umbilical hernia, hypotonia and mental retardation. The chromosome anomaly was inherited by 3:1 segregation of a balanced maternal translocation, t(10qter----q11 ::14p11----qter).

A 9-year-old prepuberal boy with trisomy 20p syndrome and previously undescribed macroorchidism is presented. This is the second report of trisomy 20p originated "de novo" supporting a frequency rate of about the 10% for this etiological mechanism. Reviewing the most common clinical findings of all 19 previous patients, a typical phenotype with a recognizable face can be carried out in several cases. If prepuberal macroorchidism is confirmed in further patients, trisomy 20p could be taken into account in the differential diagnosis with the sex-linked syndromes with mental retardation and abnormal testicular increase.

A 9-year-old girl with trisomy 4p and monosomy Xp by malsegregation of a maternal translocation t(X;4)(p21.2;p13) was found to have less severe clinical abnormalities and mental retardation than expected for a 4p trisomy syndrome. Height and weight were within the normal range. X replication was studied by BrdU incorporation: in the mother, the normal X was late replicating except in a few cells in which the translocation X was late. In all cells studied from the proband, the translocation X was late, and this late replication extended into the adjoined 4p segment.

Authors have had the opportunity to study a patient affected by a malformative syndrome with severe motricity and mental retardation. Physical findings (namely: spacious forehead, flat and round face, small palpebral fissures, hypotonicity and growth retardation) are similar to the phenotype previously described in trisomy 10q. Chromosomal diagnosis failed until G, Q and R banding technique was applied. With this technique a partial 10q trisomy (q24 leads to q ter) due to a maternal translocation t(6:10)(q26;q24) was found.

A grandfather with balanced translocation t(1:10) gave rise to three possible combinations involving chromosome 10: balanced translocation and trisomy for part of the short arm 10p13 leads to pter in the second generation, and mono- and trisomy 10p13 leads to pter in the third generation. The clinical signs and symptoms of the present case with monosomy 10p13 leads to pter are compared with those of 9 earlier reported cases with a deleted 10p. Together they represent a clinically recognizable syndrome with antimongoloid eye slant, ptosis, epicanthus, high arched or cleft palate, flat nasal bridge, micrognathia, small round and low-set ears, wide spaced nipples, cardiac and urinary tract abnormalities, hand and foot anomalies, hypoplasia/absence of the olfactory bulbs/tracts, psychomotor and growth retardation. More than 20 cases of the trisomy 10p syndrome have been described earlier. The most constant clinical findings are mental retardation, dolichocephaly, frontal bossing, broad nasal bridge, cheilo-palatoschisis, retrognathia and variable internal malformations. We found, however, the clinical characteristics in this syndrome more variable than for the monosomy 10p13 leads to pter syndrome. Our two cases, representing the eldest and the youngest described, have rather few of the typical characteristics, and few in common with each other. This indicates the difficulty in making this diagnosis on clinical features only without a cytogenetic verification.

The syndrome caused by partial trisomy for 11q is reviewed on the basis of a patient of our own and 20 cases (including a stillbirth) from the literature. The main symptoms are presented in Tables 1 and 2. The syndrome can be suspected when, in addition to mental retardation, the following characteristics are present: short nose, long philtrum, micrognathia, retracted lower lip, and micropenis in males. In 15 families, the mother was a balanced translocation carrier and in four the father. The translocation had arisen de novo in two patients. The chromosome number was 46 in 13 affected individuals (including the stillbirth) and 47 in eight. In seven of the latter patients the other translocation chromosome was 22, and in one, chromosome 9. The breakpoints on 11q ranged from 11q121 to 11q232 (Fig. 5). There is no apparent correlation between the length of the trisomic segment and the number or severity of the symptoms (Table 2). This could be explained by assuming that most, if not all, symptoms are caused by trisomy for the Q-dark region distal to 11q232, whereas trisomy for the rest of the 11q up to q121 has few phenotypic effects. These observations support the idea that Q-dark segments, and especially certain hot spots, have a high gene density in contrast with Q-brighter regions.

An additional small G-like chromosome was found in a six-months old male with multiple congenital anomalies and marked mental retardation. GTG banding revealed that the index patient was trisomic 16 q1100 leads to pter. In the bibliographical review a few cases of partial trisomy of chromosome 16 have been reported so far, but only two of them affect the same chromosomic region of our case, and only one of them is "de novo", like ours: this one would be the first case in the spanish bibliography, according to our knowledge. The clinical findings in our patient are similar to the other two cases published: our purpose is to contribute with a new case to delimitate what seems to be a definite phenotypical outline associated with trisomy 16p. The two patients early reported were females, the propositus is the first case of trisomy 16p reported in a male liveborn with genital anomalies.

A 3 1/2-year-old boy revealed moderate motor and mental retardation, normal growth, a congenital heart defect and multiple minor dysmorphic signs and anomalies including brachycephaly, orbital hypotelorism, upward slanting palpebral fissures, short and beaked nose, full cheeks, malformed auricles, hypoplastic external genitalia, rocker-bottom feet with prominent heels, and various minor radiologic anomalies of bones. An extra chromosome in his karyotype appeared to represent trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 20 due to a maternally inhherited balanced t(13;20)(p11;q11) translocation.
