title: A new case of monosomy for 17q25----qter due to a maternal translocation [t(3;17)(p12;q24)].
abstract: An 18-month-old girl was found to have monosomy for 17q25----qter which resulted from an unequal crossing-over in the mother carrying an apparently balanced translocation 46, XX, t(3;17) (p12;q24). Clinical features of the proband included: cleft palate, micrognathia and glossoptosis. It seems to be the first reported case where a single band deletion in the long arm of chromosome 17 has ever been noted.
