Three balanced karyotypes (5p; 15q),(8q; 15q), and (12q; 15q) were found simultaneously in
a child with the Willi-Prader syndrome. The hypothesis is presented of a" jumping#
translocation by affinity of telomeric and interstitial palindromes. The relationship between
the Willi-Prader syndrome and a juxtacentric anomaly of the long arm of chromosome 15 is
discussed.
