Male patients with Bloch-Sulzberger incontinentia pigmenti (IP type II) are rare and more severely affected than their female counterparts, with a significant occurrence of sex chromosome aneuploidy. This document introduces a new male IP type II patient and reviews 48 males reported with IP. Twenty

โฆ Synopsis
We describe two de novo intrachromosomal duplications of 1p. One case is a dir ins dup(1)(q21p21p31) in a newborn girl with low birth weight, growth retardation, and tetralogy of Fallot. The other is a 10-monthold girl with developmental delay, craniosynostosis, plagiocephaly, and an inv dup 1p34.1p31. Although, these patients have manifestations in common with previous cases, they do not establish a syndrome. Interestingly, all males with duplications spanning 1p31 had genital anomalies, whereas females with duplications of the same region had normal genitalia. Thus, genes within 1p31 appear to control the development of male genitalia and tentatively exclude effects of tda1, a sex-determining gene in a region of mouse chromosome 4 syntenic to 1p36 in man. However, it is necessary to identify the human tda1 homologue and candidate genes within 1p31 before drawing final conclusions.

We report on two additional cases with duplication of 9p, minor with facial anomalies and developmental delay. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization and single-copy probes, we showed that the first case was a direct duplication, whereas the second case was inverted. The extent of the direct dupli
The acronym CHARGE refers to a syndrome of unknown cause. Here we report on 47 CHARGE patients evaluated for the frequency of major anomalies, namely coloboma (79%), heart malformation (85%), choanal atresia (57%), growth and/or mental retardation (100%), genital anomalies (34%), ear anomalies (91%)
