We report on a girl with the typical trisomy 9p syndrome who had an additional E-sized metacentric chromosome. On the basis of GTG-and CBG-banding, her karyotype was considered to be 47,XX,ΓΎder(9)(pter!q13:: q13!q12:) de novo. Results of a Β―uorescence in situ hybridization study using a chromosome 9

β¦ Synopsis
A case of partial trisomy 9 is described in a mentally retarded and dysmorphic child, confirming that this chromosome unbalance results in a characteristic clinical entity. This trisomy arose through aberrant segregation of translocation chromosome during meiosis in the patient's mother, who is a balanced heterozygote for a complex translocation involving chromosomes 9, 21 and 22. The phenotypically normal sister of the proposition is also carrier of the same complex translocation.
