A 7 yr old boy with aniridia, Wilms'' tumor and mental retardation, previously reported as having an interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8 resulting from a t(8p+; 11q-) translocation (Ladda et al., 1974), was restudied using high-resolution trypsin-Giemsa banding of prometaphase chromosomes. The results revealed a complex rearrangement with 4 break points in 8p, 11p and 11q, leading to a net loss of an interstitial segment of 11p (region p1407 .fwdarw. p1304) but not of 8p. Red blood cells contained normal activities of glutathione reductase (gene on 8p) and lactate dehydrogenase A (gene on 11p12), indicating a gene dosage consistent with the chromosomal findings. The revised interpretation of this case agrees with 7 others reported as having aniridia and interstitial 11p deletions in establishing the distal half of band 11p13 as the site of gene(s) which lead to aniridia and predispose to Wilms'' tumor if present in a hemizygous state. Possible relationships between heterozygous deletion of specific chromosomal bands 11p13 and 13q14 and the autosomal dominant disorders aniridia, Wilms'' tumor and retinoblastoma, respectively, are discussed.
