Abstract
The cytogenetic findings in 357 cases referred for suspected chromosomal abnormalities because of abnormal clinical features are described. Chromosomal anomalies were found in 97 (27.2%) of the cases studied. A significantly high rate of chromosomal abnormalities was found in a population with clinical abnormalities in comparison to an unselected population (0.48-0.55%).Keywords
