Trisomy 3q2 and Pierre-Robin sequence in a boy with unbalanced 46,XY, der(10), t(3;10)(q23;q26.3) de novo karyotype.

Abstract

A partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome number 3 (3q23----3qter) is reported in a malformed male newborn with a Pierre-Robin sequence. The importance of the detection of chromosomal abnormalities towards the nosology of malformation sequences is discussed.
