description The case of a ten-years-old mentally retarded girl with Down's syndrome-like features whose chromosome analysis revealed an unusual mosaicism including 10% mitosis with a ring chromosome replacing a D chromosome is reported.

(1971) who interpreted the ring chromosome present in their patients as being chromosome 15.
