Abstract
A 10βmonthβold female with developmental delay and failure to thrive was referred for genetic evaluation as part of an adoption assessment. Physical exam showed a mildly beaked nose and clinodactyly, but otherwise nothing remarkable. Chromosome analysis showed an inverted duplication of the p12.2βp13 portion of chromosome 7[46, XX, dup(7)(p13p12.2)]. The proposita's older brother, mother, and grandmother were cognitively delayed and had the same chromosome 7 duplication. A review of the literature showed no other cases involving this exact duplication. Β© 1995 WileyβLiss, Inc.

Normal human centromeres contain large tandem arrays of β£-satellite DNA of varying composition and complexity. However, a new class of mitotically stable marker chromosomes which contain neocentromeres formed from genomic regions previously devoid of centromere activity was described recently. These
We describe a 1-year-old boy with mental and physical retardation, a large anterior fontanel, brachycephaly with flat occiput, short and stubby fingers, generalized hypotonia, ocular hypertelorism, low-nasal bridge, long philtrum, high-narrow palate, apparently low-set ears, and a small mandible.

We report on clinical and cytogenetic findings in a boy with partial 9p duplication, dup(9)(p21pter). Clinical manifestations included facial and hand anomalies and mental retardation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) were used to characterize fur
