Two unrelated patients with trisomy 2q32 → q37, resulting from maternal balanced translocations t(2; 13) (q32 q33) and t(2; 15) (q32 q26) are reported. Comparison of the clinical findings suggests that trisomy 2q is associated with a rather characteristic constellation of symptoms and malformations.
