History of Jacobsen Syndrome

The first case was reported in 1973 by Dr. Jacobsen. It described a family with multiple members with balanced, and unbalanced translocations. The first case is now about 46 years-old, living in a group home in Denmark. Dr. Jacobsen died a few years ago. If you look at the European 11q website, I think they have a little blurb on Dr. Jacobsen's life.
