Jirasirikul A A 1 month old girl was referred to the orthopaedic clinic with bilateral clubfoot deformities.
At birth, clinical examination showed the typical characters of Down's syndrome-and the
diagnosis was confirmed by chromosome study. These two conditions appear improbable as
their basic pathologies are entirely different. In our patient, the translocation type at the long arm
of chromosome 21 was determined in the chromosome study. This result has never been reported
in the literature.
