PIP: This study follows 128 subjects who were breastfed and 3084 who were formula-fed from birth through infancy. 36 of the breastfed and 907 of the formula-fed were followed from ages 3-12. The study population ranged from upper middle class to borderline low socioeconomic status in a suburb of New York City from 1949-1969. This study is representative of the usual approach for breastfed infants in the US today--a compromise between breastfeeding alone and the introduction of other solid foods as early as 2 weeks of age as has been done previously. Mothers today are encouraged to breastfeed for up to 6 months. Foods are added at about 3-4 months, despite recommendations by pediatric nutrition experts for later introduction. The value of the present study is that its sample conforms to this more naturalistic feeding regime. Under these conditions, when 2 comparable groups of subjects are followed, 1 with breastfeeding and the other with formula-feeding, both with a "middle-of-the-road" timing for introduction of solid foods, there are no differences in growth velocities during infancy or later childhood through age 12.^ieng

To assess the relationship between birth weight or birth length and the corresponding velocities of growth in infancy and childhood, 3995 subjects, followed longitudinally, were studied. Pearson correlations indicated no significant relationship between birth size and velocity in infancy, between birth size and velocity in childhood, or between velocities of growth in infancy and childhood. The only correlation that approached any significance suggested a tendency for subjects who gained weight faster in infancy to gain weight faster in childhood.

Because of lack of acceptability of the previous log-linear model of slope velocity for the assessment of weight and length in children 1 to 36 months of age, a modified method for least squares determination of velocity of growth by slope has been designed. This model uses a compound logarithmic expression of time and a newly designed graphic scale. The acceptability of the graphic (hand-drawn) line is retained while "goodness of fit" of the model is improved. This improved model makes it possible to revise our standards for velocity of growth of children 1 to 36 months of age.

A chromosomal translocation t(11;22) (q25q11) is described in a family. Four members, in two generations, had the same translocation but showed phenotypic variation. Case reports of chromosome aberrations involving the long arm of chromosome 22 associated with and without chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are reviewed. It appears that the distal segment of the long arm or chromosome 22 is either translocated or deleted, resulting in congenital anomalies, presumably due to chromosome imbalance. In other instances, a specific breakpoint on 22q results in the origin of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) associated with CML.
