Abstract
The proband in this family has translocation Down''s syndrome 46, XX, t(14;21)(p11;q11), and this translocation was present in other family members. Sex chromosome mosaicism was demonstrated in 3 generations of the family, providing another example of familial mosaicism. There was excessive, fetal wastage in different family members. It was not possible to assign 1 common etiological factor to account for these various abnormalities. Dermatoglyphic studies showed dominant inheritance of fingertip arch patterns in 1 branch of the family.
