Down syndrome with unusual familial translocation (1;21). A case report.
A case of t (1;21) in a 9-year-old female Down syndrome patient is reported. Her karyotype was 47,XX, t (1;21) (mat), +21. The father's karyotype was normal, while that of the mother was 46, XX, t (1;21). An amniotic fluid cell culture revealed a trisomy 21 and a t (1;21) in a male fetus. This is the first report of a familial case of trisomy 21 with t (1;21) from our country.
