Abstract
Presented here is a young girl with a rare interstitial duplication of 8q23.3‐q24.21. At birth, unusual facial features led to karyotype analysis with a finding of increased material in 8q. Specific determination of where the extra material came from required comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The affected girl has dysmorphic facial features including hypertelorism, a wide nasal bridge, retrognathia, hyperopic astigmatism, hirsutism, and developmental delay. The area duplicated includes at least 47 genes including TRPS1 and EXT1. Her features will be described and compared to two similar cases. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

We report on a girl with a phenotype and developmental profile initially suggestive of Angelman syndrome. Subsequently she was shown to have an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 17; [del(17)-(q23.1q23.3)], the smallest unique cytogenetic deletion in this region documented to date.
A number of clinical reports have described children with a variety of congenital anomalies in association with uniparental disomy (upd) of chromosome 14, suggesting that at least some genes on chromosome 14 are subject to parent of origin, or imprinting, effects. However, little else is known about
We describe a family in which two siblings exhibited developmental delay, reduced muscle tone and mild muscle weakness. Cytogenetic evaluation demonstrated that both children had a tandem duplication of a small portion of the long arm of chromosome 10 [46,XX or XY,dir dup(lO)(q24.2+q24.3)], inherite
We report on the clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular characterization of a propositus and his mother with a duplication of 3q25-q26, minor anomalies, and mental retardation. The duplication, detected by cytogenetic analysis, was confirmed and delineated by comparative genomic hybridization and fluo
