title: Partial trisomy 10q occurring in a family with a reciprocal translocation t(10;18)(q25;q23).
abstract: Partial trisomy 10q was observed in an eighteen year old girl with severe mental and physical retardation, microcephaly, a high forehead, microphthalmia, antimongoloid slants, low set ears and severely malformed extremities. A balanced translocation t(10q-;18q+), present in several family members, was identified by fluorescence and thermic denaturation techniques; the break points were 10q25 and 18q23. A comparison made with seven similar cases suggests a common, phenotypical appearance which may be of diagnostic value.
