Abstract
Two siblings were found with different structural abnormalities involving their maternally inherited chromosome 13. The proband exhibited a ring 13 and a small fragment: 46, XX, r(13) (pllq34), +f, while her clinically normal brother carried a dicentric Robertsonian translocation: 45, XY, dic(13;15) (pl 1;pl 1). Both parents had normal karyotypes in peripheral blood and skin fibroblasts. The structural abnormalities of chromosome 13 may be due to an unstable gonadal 13; 15 translocation in the mother. In addition, two autosomal fragile sites were segregating in this family. The mother had a fragile (16) (q22) which was inherited by the proband. The father and paternal grandmother possessed a fragile (12)(q13) which was not inherited by either child. The expression of both fragile sites was dependent on culture conditions.Keywords
