Familial reciprocal translocation, t(2;10)(p24;q26), resulting in duplication 2p and deletion 10q

We describe a familial reciprocal translocation between the distal part of the short arm of chromosome 2 and the long arm of chromosome 10. Five individuals in two generations had multiple congenital anomalies. Their karyotypes were 46, XX or XY,−10, + der(10), t(2;10)(p24;q26). Seven persons were balanced translocation carriers whose karyotypes were 46, XX or XY, t(2;10)(p24;q26). Common manifestations included mental retardation, strabismus, narrow high‐arched palate, wide alveolar ridges, other facial abnormalities, genital abnormalities and mutism. The phenotype of the unbalanced individuals is compared to that of previously published cases of the syndrome of partial duplication 2p and to reported patients with partial deletion of 10q.
