Abstract
This report deals with a reciprocal t(10;21) translocation which is observed in three generations of a family. Included are examples of the balanced translocation, adjacent-2 segregation producing three patients with trisomy of the distal long arm of chromosome 21 and the Down syndrome, and 3-1 disjunction producing trisomy of the proximal segment of chromosome 21 in a mildly mentally retarded boy without phenotypic features of the Down syndrome. These data provide evidence that the Down phenotype is attributable to trisomy of the distal long arm of chromosome 21.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
