Abstract

We report a case of partial trisomy 13 with some distinct clinical findings which are similar to the features of ?C? syndrome including; trigonocephaly, microcephaly, frontal bossing, forehead and eyelid hemangioma, hypertelorism, upslanting palpebral fissures, apparently low-set ears, rethrognathia, highly arched palate, short neck, widely spaced nipples, foot deformity (spontaneous dorsiflexion of the hallux), failure to thrive, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Her karyotype was 46, XX, der(5) t(5;13)(p15.3;q14.2). In the family, a phenotypically normal father had balanced translocation between chromosome 5 and chromosome 13, and the proband has received the recombinant 5 from the father. The father karyotype was 46, XY, t(5;13)(p15.3;q14.2). Genetic counselling was given to the family for reproductive risks.
