Chromosome determination in a girl who at birth had an abnormal appearance and a cat's cry, and later a poor weight gain and psychomotor retardation, showed a probable trisomy of chromosome pair no. 20. The analysis was made by means of photometric examination of G‐banded chromosomes from lymphocyte cultures. The deviating chromosome was identified in fibroblast cultures as well.
