Abstract excerpt
Ring chromosome 21 results in deletions of chromosome 21. We report on a cytogenetic and molecular analysis of a 4-generation family segregating a stable ring chromosome 21 in 4 relatives. To investigate the molecular structure of the ring chromosome, we have analyzed the DNAs of the transmitted ring in a mother and her daughter. The daughter presented at the age of 2 years with severe growth retardation and...
