Ring 13 in an adult male with a 13:13 translocation mother. 1983

J C de Almeida, and J C Llerena, and D M Gomes, and R R Martins, and E T Pereira

A male with a ring 13 chromosome [r(13)(p11q34)], mild mental retardation, short stature, oligoasthenospermia, and few dysmorphisms is reported. His mother who had a poor reproductive history is carrier of a t(13q13q), featuring a dicentric NOR-negative element. The clinical significance of the r(13) and the mother's unusual karyotype are discussed.
