title: Duplication of chromosome 11 centromere in fetal and maternal karyotypes: a new variant?
abstract: Fetal chromosome analysis in a 39-year-old mother revealed a chromosome 11 aberration interpreted as a duplication of the centromere. This was also found in the mother's karyotype, raising the possibility that the abnormality was a new variant of no clinical consequence.
