On the basis of their genetic-counseling experience with 4000 propositi, the authors start by recalling in a first part the fundamental mechanisms of the appearance and heritability of chromosomal aberrations.
In a second part, they summarize the correlations between clinical cases and chromosomal abnormalities presently described in the literature. Only the syndromes in which a neurologic and/or an ophthalmologic history exists are reported.
In a third part, modalities of genetic counseling, with a summing-up of general risks for chromosomal rearrangements and of their principal circumstances of diagnosis, are related.
Genealogic and cytogenetic studies necessary for counseling are briefly recorded.
