[Partial trisomy 1 (1q31-41) caused by intrachromosomal insertion in 1p31.3 in a newborn infant and a sister of the mother].
Insertions of chromosomal material which are due to 3 breaks are rare events. In this observation a segment of the long arm of chromosome 1q31-41 was shifted to 1p31.3 on the short arm and after recombination had caused trisomy of this segment in 2 cases. Main phenotypical feature is colobomatous microphthalmia. Other traits in which both patients differ considerably are non specific. Any correlation between duplications of the long arm of chromosome 1 and phenotypical expression has not yet been recognized.
