  • Title: Down syndrome with trisomy in one triplet.
    Author: Shiono H, Kadowaki JI, Tsuneta H, Nagai B, Nanbu H.
    Journal: Am J Dis Child; 1977 May; 131(5):522-4. PubMed ID: 140603.
    Abstract:
    The case presented here may be the first identified report of Down syndrome with 21 trisomy in one child of triplets. One triplet died at 1 month of age; his facial appearance was not typical of Down syndrome. Detailed testing of blood groups suggested identical origin in the remaining two children. However, the fluorescent banding technique of chromosome, one-way mixed lymphocyte culture test, and HLA typing were suggestive of dizygotic orgin. Skin transplant studies supported this contention.
