Abstract

We report on a molecular cytogenetic diagnosis of mosaicism with an unbalanced autosomal translocation and a normal cell line. Case 1. The patient was referred for evaluation because of developmental delay. The karyotype of this patient was normal. Chromosomal micro-array analysis detected a terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8 and a terminal duplication of the long arm of chromosome 10. Additional FISH analysis showed an unbalanced translocation in 77% and a normal karyotype in 23% of cells. Case 2. The patient was referred for Сri-du-chat syndrome. Chromosome analysis revealed a derivative chromosome 5. FISH analysis showed a mosaic karyotype with an unbalanced translocation in 88% and a normal karyotype in 12% of cells.
