División Citogenética, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de la República, Montevideo, Uruguay.

The combined use of high resolution banding and chromosome painting techniques allowed us to identify a reciprocal translocation involving chromosomes 3 and 20 and simultaneous interstitial deletion of chromosome 3 in a patient with several minor anomalies of the face and hands. His karyotype is described as 46,XY,t(3;20) (p14.2;p12.2),del(3)(p11-p14.1).

D002871	Chromosome Banding	Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.

D004423	Ear	The hearing and equilibrium system of the body. It consists of three parts: the EXTERNAL EAR, the MIDDLE EAR, and the INNER EAR. Sound waves are transmitted through this organ where vibration is transduced to nerve signals that pass through the ACOUSTIC NERVE to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that maintains equilibrium by transducing signals to the VESTIBULAR NERVE.
