On 24.6.83, a 24 year old primipara in good health gave birth to a stillborn male fetus with multiple defects and the appearance of Potter's syndrome. Birth weight was 1775 g after a gestation of 36 weeks and a pregnancy complicated by polyhydramnios. At necropsy there was bilateral renal agenesis, absent ureters (bladder present), absent penis, imperforate anus, and a persistent truncus arteriosus. Owing to collapse of the skull, the cranium was not opened. Following this, in November 1983, a four month macerated fetus required induction and delivery by D and C, and ten months later she delivered a missed abortion. Because of this early fetal loss in conjunction with the previous malformed infant a karyotype was done on her and her husband. She showed a female karyotype with two apparently balanced translocations: 46,XX,t(2;13)(p21;q32) and t(5;14)(q33;q32). This indicated a very 'high' risk of reproductive failure. Her mother had one of the balanced translocations and had had two spontaneous abortions, as well as two sons and this daughter. One son, whose wife is currently 13 weeks pregnant, was found to have a normal karyotype. The family history showed a maternal female cousin who had Down's syndrome with no karyotype available. This case demonstrates that recurrence risks for perinatally lethal renal disease in association with multiple defects may not only relate to autosomal recessive genes, as suggested by Bankier et al, but may also show a chromosomal cause. It is therefore important to karyotype such infants because of the consequent high risk implications to other family members.
