A 14-year follow-up of a case detected prenatally of partial trisomy 13q21.32-qter and monosomy 18q22.3-qter as a result of a maternal complex chromosome rearrangement involving chromosomes 6, 13, and 18.

Abstract excerpt

We report here a 14-year follow-up of a boy with a karyotype defined as 46,XY,der(18)t(6;13;18)(q21;q21.32;q22.3).ish der(18)(13qter+,18qter-) characterized by multiple congenital abnormalities, including distinctive minor facial anomalies, short neck, abnormalities of the...
