The authors report a case of a balanced 1;17 translocation with breakpoints located in the secondary constriction of chromosome 1. This translocation is associated with pathological symptoms similar to those observed following a proximal deletion of 1q. We request contact with colleques who have observed similar, or related, cases of translocation with breakpoints in heterochromatic regions of human chromosomes.
