Abstract

We describe two cases of trisomy 2. The first case is a child with mosaic trisomy 2 who presented with mental retardation, multiple congenital anomalies, and dysmorphic findings similar to Pallister-Killian syndrome. The second case was an acardiac and acranial fetus with complete trisomy 2. We review the phenotypic spectrum associated with trisomy 2.
