Abstract
A de novo, apparently balanced complex chromosome rearrangement (CCR) involving five chromosomes and six chromosome breakpoints was found in a child with Marfanoid habitus, kyphoscoliosis, axillary pterygium, camptodactyly, joint laxity, and mild mental retardation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed a simple translocation involving chromosomes 3 and 13, and a complex rearrangement involving chromosomes 4, 8, and 18 with four breakpoints.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
