β¦ Synopsis
We present a child with multiple structural defects due to duplication of the short arm and a small portion of the long arm of chromosome 17. Three children with similar cytogenetic abnormalities have been reported previously. The karyotype contained an isodicentric chromosome derived from chromosome 17. A clue to the mechanism that produced the isochromosome was retained in the genome in the form of a part of the chromosome 17 long arm which was attached to the short arm of a chromosome 10.

## Abstract We report the second case of a child with trisomy of the entire short arm of chromosome 17 secondary to a de novo duplication. Trisomy 17p in this patient resulted from a duplication, localized to the distal region of the long arm of the same chromosome, an abnormality not previously de
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
