Genomic variations and chromosomal abnormalities

Abstract Mosaic trisomy 22, ascertained in three unrelated patients, was found to be associated with body asymmetry and signs of the Ullrich‐Turner syndrome including short stature, ptosis, webbed neck, nevi, cubitus valgus, dysplastic nails, malformed greatvessels, and abnormal ovaries. These anomalies in trisomy 22 mosaicism have not been emphasized heretofore. In each of our patients, trisomy 22 mosaicism was found only in fibroblasts. In one patient, the trisomy resulted from a paternal first meiotic nondisjunction, and in the 46,XX cells, both chromosomes 22 were of paternal origin.
