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

✦ Synopsis
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 maternal. Because the patient had a normal phenotype, the maternal isodisomy supports the previous assumption that there are no maternally imprinted genes on chromosome 9. Am. J. Med. Genet. 87:49-52, 1999.

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
Total trisomy 9 is a rare disorder with most patients dying before age 4 months. Herein, we report a 9-year-old girl with mental retardation, short stature, a peculiar face and other minor defects, who was diagnosed as having an unbalanced de novo X-autosome translocation with a 46,X,der(9)t(X;9) (q
