Summary

The chromosome analysis of a female newborn with multiple malformations revealed an extra, small acrocentric chromosome that is smaller than the G-group chromosomes. Using special staining techniques, we identified the extra chromosome as the short arm of chromosome 17.

Zusammenfassung

Bei einem Neugeborenen, das klinisch durch multiple Mißbildungen auffiel, wurde ein akrozentrisches Extrachromosom gefunden, das kleiner war als die Chromosomen der G-Gruppe. Mit Hilfe der Q-,C- und G-Bandentechnik ließ sich das überzählige Chromosom als kurzer Arm des Chromosom 17 in der E-Gruppe einordnen.
