title: Trisomy 3 mosaicism in a live-born infant.
abstract: We report on the first case of trisomy 3 detected in the lymphocytes of a live-born infant who died at the age of 5 months. A normal 46,XX karyotype was found in skin fibroblast cultures, which could account for the child's viability and lack of gross phenotypic malformations.
