title: [A jumping translocation (5p;15q), (8q;15q), and (12q;15q) (author's transl)].
abstract: Three balanced karyotypes (5p;15q), (8q;15q), and (12q;15q) were found simultaneously in a child with the Willi-Prader syndrome. The hypothesis is presented of a "jumping# translocation by affinity of telomeric and interstitial palindromes. The relationship between the Willi-Prader syndrome and a juxtacentric anomaly of the long arm of chromosome 15 is discussed.
