The authors report the case of a 2-month-old infant with psychomotor retardation and several physical stigmata. Cytogenetic studies of the patient using the normal technique show in all the cells a karyotype 46,XY with a G group chromosome substituted by an F-like mediocentric element with satellites. The R, G and C-banding methods reveal that it is the 22 with too developed short arms (22p+). This element was found in the mother's and maternal grandfather's karyotypes although they both present normal phenotypes. The authors advance two hypotheses concerning the origin of the alteration but cannot exclude a possible connection between this particular chromosome and the proband's anomalies. The difficulties of genetic counselling in this case are evident. |
