A centric fission of chromosome 9 was found in a boy with trisomy 9p resulting from a de novo del (9p) and a 9p isochromosome. The patient presented with clinical findings similar to those described in previously reported cases of trisomy 9p. The cytogenetic evaluation and the molecular analysis usi

We describe the clinical and molecular characteristics of three patients with de novo dup(15). The patients, two males
To date, approximately 30 patients have been described with a tetrasomy 9p, all being caused by the presence of an isochromosome 9p. We now report on a 3-year-old boy with a de novo intrachromosomal triplication of 9p13-p22, resulting in partial tetrasomy 9p. We compared his phenotype with cases of
Chromosome analysis was performed in a 34-year-old man who was phenotypically normal except for oligoasthenozoospermia. In this patient, analysis of GTG-banded chromosomes showed in one chromosome 8 additional chromosomal material of unknown origin. To characterize the aberrant chromosome more preci
A de novo direct duplication of 9p22βp24 was shown in a child with a duplication 9p phenotype by GTG banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a chromosome-9 specific painting probe as well as 6 YAC DNA probes localized to the 9p13-9p23 region. The breakpoints in this patient and p
We describe a 34-year-old healthy woman with isochromosomes for the short and long arm of chromosome 9 who was ascertained because of repeated spontaneous abortions. Molecular analysis demonstrated maternal uniparental isodisomy for the whole chromosome 9, thus the origin of the isochromosomes was m
