ResumoTHE SIMULTANEOUS occurrence of two independent chromosomal anomalies in a given individual has been reported for various combinations of aberrations. Such associations most frequently involve aneuploidy of a sex chromosome and trisomy of an autosome, 1-18 while double autosomal trisomies are less frequent. 19-23 This report describes the second case of a patient with 48 chromosomes manifesting the cytogenetic abnormalities associated with both Klinefelter's syndrome and trisomy-18. Report of a Case The propositus was born following a 40-week gestation period and an uncomplicated delivery to a 21-year-old mother and 35-year-old father. He was the product of the mother's second pregnancy, the first resulting in a normal male.
