To evaluate the cytogenetic findings in Omani children referred for suspected chromosomal anomalies that caused a variety of clinical disorders. Secondly, to study the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in these patients and to compare our results with those reported elsewhere. ⋯ The higher incidence of the chromosomal abnormalities demonstrates the importance of cytogenetic evaluation in patients with dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies. Our findings suggest that chromosome analysis is a useful tool in the investigation of children with genetic disorders of unknown origin for confirmation of clinical diagnosis and proper medical care followed by genetic counseling and management.
