  • Title: A complex double translocation involving four chromosomes and five breakpoints in a child with mild mental retardation.
    Author: Couzin DA, Watt JL, Auchterlonie IA.
    Journal: J Med Genet; 1983 Oct; 20(5):389-92. PubMed ID: 6644770.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old boy with speech delay and mild mental retardation (IQ 82) was found to have a complex double translocation involving four chromosomes and a total of five breakpoints, two being on the same arm. This resulted in the karyotype 46,XY,t(2;4;7)(7;8)(q14;q31;q11q22;q13). As far as the authors are aware this is the first time that such a complex double translocation has been reported. Both parents had normal karyotypes.
