Abstract
Autosomal ring chromosomes are rare abnormalities that are inherently unsta ble. Children with ring chromosome 6 have a wide range of intellectual func tioning and congenital anomalies. Cardiac lesions are rarely reported with this chromosome abnormality. We report on a 11-year-old boy with mosaic rin g chromosome 6 and a dilated aortic root. (C) 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
