β¦ Synopsis
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 patterns of anomalies. This patient appears to be the first reported with a partial duplication of both 9p and 14q resulting in an overlapping phenotype including minor facial anomalies, cleft palate, and hand-foot anomalies. However, the facial findings were more pronounced than commonly observed in cases with only one or the other duplicated chromosome regions, resulting in a distinctive appearance. Am. J. Med. Genet. 84:132-136, 1999.
