We describe two de novo intrachromosomal duplications of 1p. One case is a dir ins dup(1)(q21p21p31) in a newborn girl with low birth weight, growth retardation, and tetralogy of Fallot. The other is a 10-monthold girl with developmental delay, craniosynostosis, plagiocephaly, and an inv dup 1p34.1p

✦ Synopsis
We report on two additional cases with duplication of 9p, minor with facial anomalies and developmental delay. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization and single-copy probes, we showed that the first case was a direct duplication, whereas the second case was inverted. The extent of the direct duplication was defined as 9p12 → p24 by microdissection and microcloning of the aberrant chromosome and subsequent chromosomespecific comparative genomic hybridization. DNA polymorphism analysis with eight microsatellite markers revealed that the origin of the dup(9p) was maternal in the first case, whereas it was paternal in the second. Am.

A tandem duplication of the distal long arm of chromosome 19 was identified in a 10 week fetus by analysis of chorionic villi.

Monosomy of the entire short arm of chromosome 18 as a result of an 18;acrocentric whole arm translocation has been reported in over 20 patients, 3 of which were familial.

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
