title: The constitutional fragility of chromosome 12 in a case of 46,XX,var(12)(gh',RHG,CAG,CBG).
abstract: The constitutional fragility of chromosome no. 12 in a female infant with unspecific clinical signs is described. RHG, GAG, and CBG methods were used to localize the fragile point. The breaks seem to be in 12q1.3, and always within an R band. A possible correlation between the phenotypic modifications and the chromosome variant is discussed.
