27 cases in which apparent balanced chromosomal rearrangements (reciprocal and translocations and pericentric inversions) are associated with phenotypic abnormalities are reported and compared with the previous published cases. Almost all patients display mental retardation and a non specific dysmorphism. Genetic counseling is different whether the abnormality is inherited or de novo. When an unexpected structural rearrangements is found in fetal cells, the attitude depends on the results of the parent's chromosomal study.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007231	Infant, Newborn	An infant during the first 28 days after birth.	Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D008607	Intellectual Disability	Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D005817	Genetic Counseling	An educational process that provides information and advice to individuals or families about a genetic condition that may affect them. The purpose is to help individuals make informed decisions about marriage, reproduction, and other health management issues based on information about the genetic disease, the available diagnostic tests, and management programs. Psychosocial support is usually offered.	Counseling, Genetic,Genetic Counseling, Prenatal,Prenatal Genetic Counseling
