Abstract
This is a report of a family with a balanced reciprocal translocation, rep (1;7)(q32;q34). Among pregnancies from translocation carriers, there were several miscarriages, and two unbalanced offspring with dup(1q32→qter) and del (7q34→qter) who died perinatally. One was a male cyclops with additional brain malformations and hydronephrosis, the other was a cebocephalic female with multiple additional malformations of heart, kidneys, and skeleton. In both pregnancies, the brain and renal anomalies were detected prenatally by ultrasound, in the cyclops during the 32nd and in the cebocephalic fetus during the 28th week of gestation.
