Abstract excerpt
Robertsonian translocations (ROBs) involving chromosome 21 occur in about 5% of individuals with Down syndrome. ROBs are the most common chromosomal rearrangements in humans and are formed through whole arm exchanges of any two acrocentric chromosomes. The de novo formation of ROBs occurs at exceptionally high rates. The present case concerns a child with mosaic Down syndrome who has two cell lines that contain...
