A phenotypically female fetus with campomelic dysplasia and a de novo reciprocal translocation, 46,XY,t(2;17) (q35;q23-24), is presented. This is the second case of campomelic dysplasia in which a rearrangement involving the long arm of chromosome 17 has been identified, indicating that this is likely to be the site of the campomelic dysplasia locus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
