Abstract
We report on a 21 month old child referred to us because of facial dysmorphism and psychomotor retardation. The patient's phenotype was characterised by a wide and receding forehead, broad nasal bridge, redundant retronuchal skin, low set and poorly shaped ears, micrognathia, and small hands and feet. High resolution R and G banding karyotype analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes showed an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 1 spanning bands q22 to q24. The cytogenetic results were confirmed by molecular analysis. The phenotype observed in our patient was relatively milder than those reported in other patients with an interstitial deletion of chromosome 1q.

Abstract
We report on an aneuploidy syndrome due to the unbalanced segregation of a familial translocation (4;21)(p16.3;q22.1) causing a partial 4p monosomy and a partial 21q trisomy. The three affected children presented with severe failure to thrive, short stature, microcephaly, profound hypotonia, and mental retardation. The face, very similar in the three children, is characterized by frontal bossing, upslanting of the palpebral fissures, short nose, and deep set ears, giving the overall appearance of the Down syndrome. The molecular study has defined the aneuploid segment on both 4p and 21q. Most of the Down syndrome critical region was found to the trisomic, while only part of the candidate Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome critical region was deleted, suggesting that this region is not critical for the major malformations characteristic for WHS.

Abstract
A case is presented in which the ultrasonographic detection of multiple congenital anomalies led to the diagnosis of Roberts syndrome in the fetus of a woman with a negative family history. The fetus had bilateral cleft lip and palate, bilateral amesomelia with ectrodactyly, a complex congenital heart disease and intrauterine growth retardation. These malformations are frequent in Roberts syndrome and, therefore, an amniocentesis was performed to detect the cytogenetic marker of this syndrome, premature centromere separation. This phenomenon could not be detected in metaphases from amniocytes, but it was present in peripheral lymphocytes cultured at birth. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed. Furthermore, to our knowledge, this represents the first case in which the suspicion of Roberts syndrome was raised by ultrasound in a family with a negative family history.

Abstract
We report a case of cutis verticis gyrata-mental deficiency syndrome (CVG-MD) which was associated with drug-resistant epilepsy and bilateral occipital polymicrogyria. Genetic analysis showed an increased number of breaks at the 3p14 and 16q23 sites. We hypothesize that a deleterious factor acting at a critical period of intrauterine development could result in the cerebral malformation and in the development of CVG. Neuroradiological investigation is warranted in cases of CVG-MD.

Abstract
The authors analyse the expression of all the folate-sensitive fra sites in a sample of 24 male patients with Martin-Bell syndrome (MBS) and their 12 mothers distributed in 10 kindreds. The cytogenetic results are compared with that of a control group, constituted by 8 unrelated normal subjects. Except for the fra Xq27, there was no autosomal folate-sensitive fra site significantly more expressed in patients with MBS than in the control group. On the basis of the present cytogenetic sample of about 6 500 R-banded mitoses, a list of all the in vitro folate-sensitive fra sites and their relative frequencies is given.

Abstract
A cell line of penile cancer from a 60-year-old Ugandan black patient has been studied by the authors. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy showed a large number of blebs and microvilli at cell surface; desmosomes were evident at TEM. Cytogenetic investigation (R-, C-, Nor-banding) showed the frequent presence of some markers: del(1p),del(1q),iso(3q),der(4),del(8p),11q+, t rob(13;14), 14p+, t rob(21;21). The epidemiology, geographical distribution, and aetiological role of human papilloma virus type 16 and herpes simplex type 2 are discussed.
