  • Title: A case of mosaic Down's syndrome with two Robertsonian translocations.
    Author: Leal-Garza CH, Cortés-Gutiérrez EI, Ortiz-Jalomo R, García-Cavazos R.
    Journal: Rev Invest Clin; 1996; 48(5):385-8. PubMed ID: 8968157.
    Abstract:
    A baby with stigmata of Down's syndrome was found to be a mosaic with two different cell lines: 45,XX,der(14q;21q)/46,XX,der(21q;21q)+21. The chromosome rearrangements appeared to have risen de novo. Four mechanisms are discussed for the origin of the mosaicism: dissociation of a translocation (14q;21q) chromosome already present in the 45,XX, der(14q;21q) zygote; two translocation events occurring sequentially at the first and second zygote (46,XX) divisions; a chromatid translocation in a 47,XX,+21 zygote; and an independent origin of the two cell lines.
