We report on a female infant with partial trisomy 9p (pterβp13) and partial trisomy 14q (pterβq22) resulting from a 3:1 segregation of a maternal reciprocal translocation (9;14)(p13;q22). Both trisomy 9p and partial trisomy 14q have been described as recognized phenotypes with characteristic pattern

β¦ Synopsis
We report on a male infant with partial trisomy 2q (q34βqter) resulting from a maternal pericentric inversion of chromosome 2 (p25.2q34). The infant had clinical findings similar to the characteristic phenotype associated with a partial duplication of chromosome 2q3. Carriers of pericentric inversions of chromosome 2 have an increased risk of pregnancy loss but have only rarely been reported to have a liveborn offspring with an unbalanced chromosome constitution. This case further confirms the risks associated with a pericentric inversion of chromosome 2 and is the second report with manifestations of the trisomy 2q3 phenotype. Am.

We report on the second case of duplication (4)(q12q13) with microcephaly, mental retardation, and minor facial anomalies. Duplications involving the distal region of chromosome 4q are well described and share common clinical findings. However, phenotypic abnormalities of duplications of the proxima
We describe a girl with physical anomalies, accelerated skeletal maturation, failure to thrive, and respiratory difficulties consistent with a diagnosis of Marshall-Smith syndrome (MSS). Chromosome analysis showed an inverted duplication of chromosome 2 [46,XX,inv dup(2)(q37q32) de novo] identified
We report a rare case of duplication for 7q22 β 7qter and deletion for 7p22 β 7pter, resulting from a meiotic recombination of a paternal pericentric inversion, inv(7)(p22q22). The newborn boy had the 7q trisomy syndrome. In addition, the diagnosis of chondrodysplasia punctata was made from lumbar a
We report on a girl with duplication of 6q22.32 β qter and microcephaly, frontal bossing, facial anomalies, and webbed neck.
