Abstract: Here we describe clinical and cytogenetic data on 2-year-old female
child with partial trisomy for the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 10
(10q22–>qter) and a concomitant monosomy
3(p25–>pter) as a result of a maternal balanced reciprocal
translocation. Her karyotype was ascertained as 46,XX,der(3)t(3;10)(p25;q22).
The father had normal karyotype. The mother had an apparently balanced
translocation involving chromosome 3 and 10 [46,XX,t(3;10)(p25;q22)]. This is
the second reported case of partial trisomy 10q and partial trisomy 3p.
Clinical features of this case and a few published cases will be reviewed
briefly.
