Abstract
A three and a half year old mildly retarded boy is presented. Karyotyping showed monosomy 21 (45,XY,-21) in all 50 metaphase spreads examined from two lymphocyte cultures, and in 20% of cells examined from cultured fibroblasts; the remaining 80% of cells showed a ring 21 chromosome (46,XY,r(21)(p1q22]. Molecular studies using chromosome 21 specific DNA probes confirmed the monosomy in blood and showed that the ring 21 chromosome was paternal in origin. Parental karyotypes were normal.Entities:
