Abstract

We report on a 3‐year‐old boy with moderate developmental delay, abnormal craniofacial features and ventricular septal defect resulting from trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 20. The cytogenetic defect consists of a de novo isolated interstitial duplication in distal 20q [dup(20)(q13.2q13.2)]. The duplication was detected by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and confirmed by array CGH. Other cases of comparable trisomies are reviewed. This new case further delineates the recognizable phenotype of trisomy 20q13 → 20qter and highlights the relevance of CGH for the detection of such rearrangements. Β© 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract An infant with multiple congenital anomalies and severe developmental delay was found to have a derivative chromosome 4 by routine karyotypic analysis. Using telomeric FISH analysis, the source of the additional chromatin was determined to be from 20q. The infant, thus, is trisomic for
