title: An 18p- syndrome due to 15/18 translocation with facial palsy and deafness.
abstract: A case of translocation between chromosomes No. 15 and 18 was described. Phenotype of the patient was almost consistent with that of the 18p- syndrome. In addition to the typical feature of 18p- syndrome, he had perceptive deafness, and abducens nerve and facial nerve palsies. Giemsa-binding technique demonstrated patient's karyotype to be 45, XY, -15, -18, +t (15; 18).
