Summary
The case of a child showing multiple malformations is reported. Chromosome studies by Q, G, C and Giemsa 11 banding methods revealed that lymphocytes of the propositus had a 47XY,t(9p,h+,9p) karyotype though fibroblasts from a skin biopsy were normal (46XY).
Résumé
Le cas d'un enfant porteur de malformations multiples est décrit. L'étude des chromosomes par les techniques du Q-, G-, C- et Giemsa-11 banding a révélé que les lymphocytes du proposant présentaient une formule caryologique 47XY,t(9p,h+,9p) alors que les fibroblastes provenant d'une biopsie de peau étaient normaux (46XY).
Zusammenfassung
Es wird über ein Kind, das mannigfaltige Mißbildungen zeigt, berichtet. Die Chromosomenuntersuchung mit Hilfe der Q-, G-, C- und Giemsa-11 Banding-Methoden hat an Lymphocyten den Karyotyp 47,XY,t(9p,h+,9p) ergeben, während Fibroblasten von einer Hautbiopsie einen normalen Karyotyp (46,XY) haben.
