Extract

Chromosomal abnormalities involving the autosomes are nearly always associated with serious defects in intelligence. This is true of the first disease recognized to result from a chromosomal aberration, Down's syndrome (Lejeune, Gautier and Turpin, 1959), and a series of other disorders, including the “cri du chat” syndrome, also first described by Lejeune and his co-workers (1963).
