We report on a 5-year-old girl with a de novo interstitial duplication of chromosome 6q21-q23 and delayed development and speech with distinctive minor facial anomalies including a ''carp'' mouth. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a chromosome 6 paint probe confirms that the extra material is

โฆ Synopsis
We present the case of a patient with true hermaphroditism and partial duplication of chromosome 22. Cytogenetic evaluation showed no evidence of a Y chromosome in blood, skin, or gonadal tissue. Additional investigations using molecular probes showed no evidence of SRY. We conclude that there are genes on chromosome 22 that are involved in sex determination. Am. J. Med. Genet. 85:2-4, 1999.
