We report on a 5-year-old girl with multiple congenital anomalies, developmental delay, and a de novo unbalanced translocation between chromosomes X and 1[46,X,der(X)-t(X;1)(q24;q31.1)] resulting in partial trisomy 1q and partial monosomy Xq. The karyotype shows inactivation of the abnormal X chromo

✦ Synopsis
Total trisomy 9 is a rare disorder with most patients dying before age 4 months. Herein, we report a 9-year-old girl with mental retardation, short stature, a peculiar face and other minor defects, who was diagnosed as having an unbalanced de novo X-autosome translocation with a 46,X,der(9)t(X;9) (q12;q32) karyotype resulting in almost a full trisomy 9(pter→q32) and a partial monosomy X(q12→pter). The clinical findings of our patient, almost exclusively resemble those of trisomy 9p and the Ullrich-Turner syndromes and has few manifestations of 9q trisomy. BrdU replication studies by Giemsa staining showed an earlier replication of 9p in the translocated chromosome, but a marked late-replication pattern for almost the complete 9q arm involved in the translocation. FISH studies confirmed the presence of three 9 centromeres, excluded the presence of the X centromere signal in the rearranged chromosome, and showed that both Xq telomeric sequences were present. BrdU replication studies by FISH showed an usual pattern of striking late-replication around the XIC of the derivative chromosome, but early replication of the chromosome 9p segment and distal Xq.

X inactivation is the process by which mammalian females achieve dosage compensation by transcriptionally silencing one X chromosome. In chromosomally normal females, this process is random.
