Summary

A severely retarded child with multiple malformations was found to present a mosaic karyotype 46,XX,-13,+t(13;13)(p11;q11)/46,XX,del (13)(p11), which probably originated as the result of a de novo 13/13 translocation in a parental gamete, followed by postzygotic fission of the translocation chromosomse.
