A de novo direct duplication of 9p22→p24 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

✦ Synopsis
A de novo interstitial tandem duplication of 6p12p21.3 was observed in a 7-month-old boy with growth retardation, psychomotor delay and craniofacial, brain, limb, and genital anomalies. Fluorescent in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe demonstrated that the extra material belonged to chromosome 6. Although it has been suggested that 6p25 is the critical band involved in the expression of the phenotype of 6p duplication, comparison of the clinical findings of this case with those from the literature cases showed strong similarities.

We report on two brothers with low birth weight, growth retardation, microcephaly, minor facial anomalies, mental retardation, and trisomy (6)(p23→pter) due to a maternal t(6;17)(p23;p13.3). As demonstrated by fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) with the Miller-Dieker cosmid probe (D17S379) and
Authors report on a case of partial 9p duplication, involving the 9p22-9p24 region. This represents the second case of such duplication in which the breakpoints were precisely defined using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with chromosome 9 specific painting and YAC DNA probes, localised on
We report on a 5-year-old girl with a de novo interstitial duplication of chromosome 6q21-q23 and delayed development and speech with distinctive minor facial anomalies including a ''carp'' mouth. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe confirms that the extra material is
We report on a girl with a duplication of chromosome band 11p12→13, which includes the Wilms tumor gene (WT1) and the aniridia gene (PAX6). The girl had borderline developmental delay, mild facial anomalies, and eye abnormalities. Eye findings were also present in most of the 11 other published case
