Abstrakt: A stillborn baby with multiple malformations, including cardiac defects and cerebellar hypoplasia, is described. The abnormal features were ascribed to an unbalanced chromosome translocation, resulting in a partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 5 and a partial trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 20. A parental balanced translocation t(5; 20)(p13.3; p11.23) was identified. The present case is the first case in Japan of monosomy of the short arm of chromosome 5 and trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 20. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
