Karyotypes were examined in 122 Omani children suspected of having chromosomal abnormalities. A total of 50 (41 per cent) had an abnormal karyotype: 38 (31 per cent) were Down's syndrome whilst a further 12 (10 per cent) had other types of chromosomal abnormalities. These findings suggest that cytogenetic analysis is useful in the investigations of children with congenital anomalies of unknown origin; to confirm clinical diagnosis in children with known cytogenetic syndromes and for genetic counselling.
