A family in which a translocation t(11; 21) (q23 ;q22) was segregating through three generations was studied clinically and cytogenetically. Individuals mono somic for the distal part of the long arm of chromosome No. 11 showed severe malformations and retardation. Apatient trisomic for this part of chromosome No. 11 was mentally retarded but less severely affected. Marker gene studies could exclude the location of several blood group loci at the distal part of the long arm of chromosome No. 11, but did not give any positive evidence of linkage to this part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
