We report two unrelated girls who present some clinical features of severe incontinentia pigmenti (IP), with characteristic skin pigmentation. Both have balanced de novo X/autosome translocations involving band Xp11. The coincidence of the probable de novo expression of an X-linked disorder in these two girls with translocations involving similar breakpoints on the X chromosome suggests that this band may be the site of the IP gene locus.
