METHODS Subjects Our study involved 33 patients with a ‘‘pure’’partial 22q13 monosomy, with exclusion of all rearrangements involving loss or gain of euchromatic material from any other chromosome than number 22. There were 17 patients with an r (22) chromosome (cases 1 to 17), one of whom has already been reported (case 214). Twelve patients had a simple terminal 22q13 deletion (cases 18 to 29). Four patients had an unbalanced translocation involving an acrocentric short arm (cases 30 to 33) and were considered as ‘‘pure’’22q13 monosomies. Among these translocations, one (case 30) resulted from the malsegregation of a balanced paternal translocation and the karyotype was 46, XX, der (22) t (14; 22)(p11; q13) pat; two (cases 31 and 33) were de novo translocations involving the 22q13 band and the short arm of an unidentified acrocentric, with the karyotype 46, XX, der (22) t (22; acro)(q13; p11). Case 32 was a de novo tandem translocation involving the 22q13 band and the short arm of a chromosome 15, with the karyotype 45, XY, J22, J15,+ der (22pterR22q13:: 15p12R15qter). Clinical examination of the patients was undertaken using the same criteria for all. The parents were interviewed with a standard questionnaire about their child’s development and behaviour, and the resulting data were used to assess the child’s disability. For all patients, pregnancy and birth data showed no remarkable events. The age and sex of the patients are reported in table 1, as well as the main clinical signs scored for degree of severity (+,++,+++).Procedures Metaphase spreads from the patients were prepared according to standard procedures and at least 50 metaphases were analysed for each of them, in order to detect any mosaicism. Characterisation of the deleted material was done by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) using BAC and PAC clones obtained from the Sanger Institute (www. sanger. ac. uk), and cosmid clones from Invitrogen (Invitrogen-Life Technologies, Cergy-Pontoise, France). All these probes, for which the relative order was determined by searching in
