We report on a patient with psychomotor retardation and a pattern of malformations comprising single umbilical artery, craniofacial anomalies, severe truncal hypotonia, and lower-limb hyporreflexia. G-banding cytogenetics demonstrated a 16pΨ chromosome. Parental chromosomes were normal. The use of f

A review of all prenatal and postnatal diagnoses of trisomy 16 and trisomy 16 mosaicism was carried out in the context of the current understanding of confined placental mosaicism and uniparental disomy (UPD). The prenatal detection of trisomy 16 cells is associated with a high probability of fetal
We report on a case of dup(l6p) and review previous cases. The triplicated chromosome region leading to this specific syndrome lies in 16~13.1 p13.3. Most of the cases are inherited and the mode of segregation was found to be 3: 1 in half of the cases, but these observations might be due to biases.
## Abstract As more cases of complete or partial trisomy 16p are described, a clinical picture of these patients is emerging. A specific phenotype appears to be most consistent if the band 16p13.1β16p13.3 is present in triplicate. The hallmarks of this syndrome are microcephaly, a specific facial a
We describe a liveborn infant with uniparental disomy (UPD) with trisomy 15 mosaicism. Third trimester amniocentesis yielded a 46W47,XX, + 15 karyotype. Symmetrical growth retardation, distinct craniofacies, congenital heart disease, severe hypotonia and minor skeletal anomalies were noted. The infa
