The Pallister-Killian syndrome in an African individual.
We report for the first time an individual of Zulu origin with the Pallister-Killian syndrome. Apart from the commonly reported clinical signs, he also had frenula in all four quadrants of the mouth. A broad, short hallux was present. An unusually high level of mosaicism for the isochromosome 12p was found in the lymphocytes.
