Incidental finding of double minutes (DM), single minutes (SM), homogenously staining regions (HSR), premature chromosome condensation (PCC), and premature centromere division (PCD)?
The incidental finding of DM's, minutes, HSR's, PCC, and PCD in two completely unrelated cases--one is a prenatal diagnosis in a twin pregnancy complicated by hydramnios and feto-fetal exsanguination, the other is an adult Klinefelter patient--raises the question whether such findings are coincidental or whether there is a common denominator in such cases. Possible relationships between these phenomena and the observed cases are discussed.
