15. Met with parents
Diagnosis = Deletion of chromosome 11p
De novo event, not inherited
Risk to future siblings very low
Risk to next generation = 50%
16. Met with parents
Diagnosis = Deletion of chromosome 11p
De novo event, not inherited
Risk to future siblings very low
Risk to next generation = 50%
High risk for kidney tumors
18. Identified all published reports

46. Met with parents
Diagnosis: 46,XX,der(15)t(2;15)(q37.2;q26.2)
Requested parental sample for evaluation
Balanced translocation in one parent
50. Met with parents again
Diagnosis: 46,XX,der(15)t(2;15)(q37.2;q26.2)
