Abstract
ABSTRACT: The association of certain chromosome aberrations with arthropathy has been previously described, but there is a limited number of reports in the literature. Two children are described, one with 18q- syndrome and another with supernumary marker chromosome 15, both presenting with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-type disease, aggressive progression and moderate response to inflammatory, corticosteroid and immunosuppressive treatment.
