Two cases of an abnormal short arm of chromosome 8 (8p+) associated with mental retardation. 1978

K Hongell, and S Knuutila, and T Westermarck

Morphologically similar chromosome anomalies, 8p+, were found in two inmates of an institution for the mentally retarded. Analysis of the G-and R-banding patterns showed that the first subject had a duplication of region p2 of chromosome 8; the second subject had an insertion of an unidentified chromosome segment at 8p11. Both subjects were severely mentally retarded. The physical malformations were more severe in the second subject than in the first, who had only minor signs. The dermatoglyphics are recorded.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
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.
