Abstract:
A boy with congenital glaucoma, mental retardation and dysmorphic features is described. Chromosome analyses revealed two different, apparently balanced translocations; between the long arms of chromosomes 2 and 10 as well as between the long arms of chromosomes 8 and 12; 46,XY t(2;10)(q33;q26)pat, t(8;12) (q24;q21). The healthy father of the patient had the same balanced translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 2 and 10; 46,XY, t(2;10)(q33;q26).
