We describe an 8-years old female with supernumerary chromosome der(21)t(4;21)(q25;q22) resulting in partial trisomy 4q25-qter and partial trisomy 21(pter-q22). The extra material was originated from a reciprocal balanced translocation carrier mother (4q;21q). Karyotyping was confirmed by FISH using whole chromosome painting probes for 4 and 21q and using 21q22.13-q22.2 specific probe to rule out trisomy of Down...
