The likelihood of a paternally expressing imprinted gene in chromosome region 6(q23-24) has been highlighted by cases of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) in which paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) for chromosome 6 or paternal duplication 6(q23-qter) was detected. We present the case of a

✦ Synopsis
We describe a family in which two siblings exhibited developmental delay, reduced muscle tone and mild muscle weakness. Cytogenetic evaluation demonstrated that both children had a tandem duplication of a small portion of the long arm of chromosome 10 [46,XX or XY,dir dup(lO)(q24.2+q24.3)], inherited from their clinically normal mother, who was found to be mosaic for the duplicated chromosome 10. Fluorescence in situ hybridization approaches, including total chromosome painting and the use of regional specific cosmid probes, were used to confirm the chromosome 1Oq origin of the duplicated material. This is the smallest confirmed duplication of this portion of chromosome 10 reported to date.

A number of clinical reports have described children with a variety of congenital anomalies in association with uniparental disomy (upd) of chromosome 14, suggesting that at least some genes on chromosome 14 are subject to parent of origin, or imprinting, effects. However, little else is known about

## Submicroscopic deletions of chromosome 22q11 have been reported in a multiple anomaly syndrome variously labelled as velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and Di George syndrome. Most 22q11 microdeletions occur sporadically, although in some cases the deletion may be tran
We report on a patient with de novo interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 12: 46,XY,del(12)(q24.31q24.33). To our knowledge this is the first patient with this chromosomal abnormality reported. He was born with minor anomalies, ambiguous genitalia, tracheomalacia, and he was developmen
We report on a girl with a phenotype and developmental profile initially suggestive of Angelman syndrome. Subsequently she was shown to have an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 17; [del(17)-(q23.1q23.3)], the smallest unique cytogenetic deletion in this region documented to date.
