Abstract

The first case is reported of a karyotype containing two apparently unrelated reciprocal translocations, involving chromosomes 1, 2, 5 and 7. It is suggested that the patient's psychomotor retardation and microcephaly may be the result of the loss of a small amount of chromosomal material accompanying these translocations.
