A de novo direct duplication of 9p22βp24 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

β¦ Synopsis
Duplication 8p usually results in a syndrome characterized by profound mental retardation, mild facial anomalies, and malformations of hand, heart, and brain. We report on a large kindred segregating a Y;8 translocation in whom several individuals have duplication 8p22β8pter. These individuals have normal adaptive function despite their unbalanced karyotype. The family was studied with G-banding and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using probes to chromosomes 8 and Y. Comparison of this family with other reported cases defines a mild clinical outcome for trisomy 8p22β8pter in contrast to the severe findings when the duplication involves a longer, more proximal segment.

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
Chromosome analysis was performed in a 34-year-old man who was phenotypically normal except for oligoasthenozoospermia. In this patient, analysis of GTG-banded chromosomes showed in one chromosome 8 additional chromosomal material of unknown origin. To characterize the aberrant chromosome more preci
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 t
The number of patients heterozygous for terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8 (del8p) has increased progressively in parallel with the improved ability of cytogenetic techniques to recognize small imbalances. A del(8p) syndrome has been outlined. We reported a consistent association wit
