Abstract
Four patients with features suggestive of chromosome disorders but with normal lymphocyte karyotypes had chromosome aberrations in skin fibroblast karyotypes. Although mosaicism for chromosome abnormalities in lymphocyte cultures is common, apparent restriction of mosaicism to one tissue is unusual. After examination of lymphocyte karyotypes, certain patients warrant cytogenetic evaluation of a 2nd tissue, usually cultured skin fibroblasts.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
