We present a 16-month-old boy with developmental delay, minor anomalies, small penis, and lymphedema of the upper limbs. Routine cytogenetic analysis suspected a duplication of 5q. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with a cosmid probe (MCC at the 5q22 APC region) showed tandemly duplicated fl

✦ Synopsis
We present a patient with developmental delay, minor anomalies, and duplication 18p confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization with whole chromosome 18 painting probe (Oncor p5218). Our observation confirms the findings of other investigators that duplication 18p is not associated with major malformations.

A tandem duplication of the distal long arm of chromosome 19 was identified in a 10 week fetus by analysis of chorionic villi. The fetal karyotype from two primary cultures was 46,XY,dir dup(19)(q13.2q13.4). The origin of the extra material was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization using a
Partial trisomy of 19q has been reported in only 13 patients, of which all but one have been due to unbalanced translocations. Only one previous report of a de novo duplication of distal 19q has been described in a fetal chorionic villus sample. There was no description of clinical phenotype in this
