Abstract
Structural variants (SVs) pose a challenge to detect and interpret, but their study provides novel biological insights and molecular diagnosis underlying rare diseases. The aim of this study was to resolve a 9p24 rearrangement segregating in a family through five generations with a congenital heart defect (congenital pulmonary and aortic valvular stenosis and pulmonary artery stenosis), by applying a combined genomic analysis. The analysis involved multiple techniques, including karyotype, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), FISH, genome sequencing (GS), RNA-seq, and optical genome mapping (OGM). A complex 9p24 SV was hinted at by CMA results, showing three interspersed duplicated segments. Combined GS and OGM analyses revealed that the 9p24 duplications constitute a complex SV, on which a set of breakpoints matches the boundaries of the CMA duplicated sequences. The proposed structure for this complex rearrangement implies three duplications associated with an inversion of ~ 2 Mb region on chromosome 9 and a SINE element insertion at the more distal breakpoint. Interestingly, this genomic structure of rearrangement forms a chimeric transcript of the KANK1/DMRT1 loci, which was confirmed by both RNA-seq and Sanger sequencing on blood samples from 9p24 rearrangement carriers. Altogether with breakpoint amplification and FISH analysis, this combined approach allowed a deep characterization of this complex rearrangement. Although the genotype-phenotype correlation remains elusive from the molecular mechanism point of view, this study identified a large genomic rearrangement at 9p24 segregating with a familial congenital heart defect, revealing a genetic biomarker that was successfully applied for embryo selection, changing the reproductive perspective of affected individuals.

A rare familial rearrangement of chromosomes 9 and 15 associated with intellectual disability: a clinical and molecular study. Mol Cytogenet 2021; 14:47. [PMID: 34607577 PMCID: PMC8489072 DOI: 10.1186/s13039-021-00565-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background There are many reports on rearrangements occurring separately in the regions of chromosomes 9p and 15q affected in the case under study. 15q duplication syndrome is caused by the presence of at least one extra maternally derived copy of the Prader–Willi/Angelman critical region. Trisomy 9p is the fourth most frequent chromosome anomaly with a clinically recognizable syndrome often accompanied by intellectual disability. Here we report a new case of a patient with maternally derived unique complex sSMC resulting in partial trisomy of both chromosomes 9 and 15 associated with intellectual disability. Case presentation We characterise a supernumerary derivative chromosome 15: 47,XY,+der(15)t(9;15)(p21.2;q13.2), likely resulting from 3:1 malsegregation during maternal gametogenesis. Chromosomal analysis showed that a phenotypically normal mother is a carrier of balanced translocation t(9;15)(p21.1;q13.2). Her 7-year-old son showed signs of intellectual disability and a number of physical abnormalities including bilateral cryptorchidism and congenital megaureter. The child’s magnetic resonance imaging showed changes in brain volume and in structural and functional connectivity revealing phenotypic changes caused by the presence of the extra chromosome material, whereas the mother’s brain MRI was normal. Sequence analyses of the microdissected der(15) chromosome detected two breakpoint regions: HSA9:25,928,021-26,157,441 (9p21.2 band) and HSA15:30,552,104-30,765,905 (15q13.2 band). The breakpoint region on chromosome HSA9 is poor in genetic features with several areas of high homology with the breakpoint region on chromosome 15. The breakpoint region on HSA15 is located in the area of a large segmental duplication. Conclusions We discuss the case of these phenotypic and brain MRI features in light of reported signatures for 9p partial trisomy and 15 duplication syndromes and analyze how the genomic characteristics of the found breakpoint regions have contributed to the origin of the derivative chromosome. We recommend MRI for all patients with a developmental delay, especially in cases with identified rearrangements, to accumulate more information on brain phenotypes related to chromosomal syndromes.

Abstract
Trisomy 9p is one of the most common chromosomal partial trisomies in newborns. However, reports on prenatal 9p microduplications are rare in the clinic. This study aimed to examine the genotype-phenotype correlation and assess the clinical significance of 9p24.3 microduplication encompassing the DOCK8 gene. Eight pregnant women underwent amniocentesis for cytogenetic and genetic testing for various indications for prenatal diagnosis from January 2019 to January 2020. Chromosomal karyotypic analysis was performed on G-band metaphases that were prepared from cultured amniotic fluid cells. Chromosomal microarray analysis was carried out to detect chromosomal copy number variations. We also performed a literature review on clinical data on similar 9p24.3 microduplications to determine the genotype-phenotype correlation. We detected 123-248-kb microduplications in the region of 9p24.3 (chr9: 208454-469022), involving part of or the entire DOCK8 gene. The indications for prenatal diagnosis mainly focused on the risk of maternal serum screening for trisomy 21/18, advanced maternal age, and increased nuchal translucency. No evident structural abnormalities were observed for all fetuses, except for case 5 who presented with increased nuchal translucency in prenatal ultrasound findings. Follow-up of postnatal health was performed and showed no apparent abnormalities for cases 1 to 6 after birth. The parents of case 7 chose to terminate the pregnancy while the parents of case 8 chose to continue the pregnancy. We propose that 9p24.3 microduplications that encompass part of or the entire DOCK8 gene are variants that might be benign. However, further large-scale studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical pathogenicity. For prenatal cases with 9p24.3 microduplication, postnatal health and growth should be followed up and assessed regularly from childhood to adulthood.

Abstract
Background Trisomy is a common chromosomal aberration, which usually presents with similar phenotypic abnormalities and developmental delay. Although defined as chromosome abnormalities with recognized symptoms including growth retardation, trisomy 9p and trisomy 14q have been rarely reported to occur at the same time. Case presentation Here, we describe a 16-year-old adolescent female affected by developmental delay and mild intellectual disability. She was confirmed to have both partial trisomy 9p (p24.3-p23) and 14q11.2 microduplication by chromosome microarray analysis (CMA). It is speculated that the extra chromosome in the patient may be a derivative 14 chromosome inherited from the parent after 3:1 disjunction during meiosis. The extra 9p segment proves to be pathogenic while the duplicated 14q11.2 remains indefinite. Conclusions Further studies are needed to assign the genes responsible for the developmental delay and craniofacial dysmorphisms and appoint dosage-sensitive genes of chromosome 9p.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to report a fetus with maternal partial trisomy 9p and 14q and the phenotype detected in ultrasound. Methods The chromosome rearrangements in the fetus were characterized by G-banding and chromosome microarray analysis based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array of cultured amniocytes and compared with the parents’ karyotypes. Results The fetal abnormal karyotype was 47,XY,+der(14)(9;14)(p23;q22). The SNP array revealed a duplicate 11.8-Mb 9p23-p24.3 fragment and a duplicate 29.6-Mb 14q11.2-q21.3 fragment. The peripheral blood karyotype of the mother was 46,XX,t(9;14)(p23;q22), while the father’s was normal at the level of 300~400 bands. A high-resolution karyotype analysis conformed the same abnormality of the mother at the level of 550~650 bands. These results indicated that the fetal chromosomal abnormality probably derived from the mother. The fetal nuchal translucency thickness was 3.5 mm, and the fetal heart was detected with around 1.0-mm ventricular defect by the ultrasound examination at 12-week gestation. The couple decided to terminate the pregnancy. They opted for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer for the fourth pregnancy, which was successful. Conclusions The SNP array combined with cytogenetic analysis was particularly effective in identifying abnormal chromosomal rearrangements. These methods combined with the existing database information and fetal ultrasonography might provide a comprehensive and efficient way for the prenatal assessment of fetal situations. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis might effectively assist those women with an adverse pregnancy history in their next pregnancy.

Abstract
Trisomy 9p syndrome is the fourth most frequent chromosome aberration seen in infants. Duplication of the critical region 9p22p24 leads to mental retardation, psychomotor delay, and craniofacial and digital anomalies. We report a 2-year-old Ecuadorian girl with Trisomy 9p syndrome. Although her phenotype shares characteristics of Noonan syndrome, Giemsa trypsin banding technique shows there is an extra chromosomal segment on chromosome 14, and array analysis shows that it belongs to a duplication of 38 Mb of 9p13.1p24.3. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis detected three signals from 9p chromosome. The duplication is de novo, being another unique case of the few reported in the literature.

Abstract
Background 9p duplication is a structural chromosome abnormality, described in more than 150 patients to date. In most cases the duplicated segment was derived from a parent being a reciprocal translocation carrier. However, about 15 cases with de novo 9p duplication have been reported previously. Clinically, this condition is characterized by mental retardation, short stature, developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, hand and toe anomalies, heart defects and/or ocular manifestations. Case presentation We report here the case of a 2-year-old Moroccan girl with a de novo duplication of 9p24 to p12. Clinical manifestations included failure to thrive, psychomotor delay, microcephaly, dysmorphic features, equinus feet, and umbilical hernia. Further clinical investigations showed an insulin-like growth factor type 1 deficiency. Banding cytogenetics identified a derivative chromosome 9, with an abnormally elongated short arm. Molecular cytogenetics based on multicolor banding probes characterized an inverted duplication 9p24 to p12 involving several genes especially an insulin-like growth factor binding protein named insulin-like growth factor binding protein-like 1, which seemed to be overexpressed, leading to the insulin-like growth factor deficiency in our patient. Conclusions This study showed that insulin-like growth factor type 1 deficiency can be another feature of 9p duplication, suggesting a likely involvement of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-like 1 overexpression in growth delay. However, further studies of the gene expressions are needed to better understand the phenotype-karyotype correlations.

Abstract
Rearrangements of the distal region of 9p are important chromosome imbalances in human beings. Trisomy 9p is the fourth most frequent chromosome anomaly and is a clinically recognizable syndrome. Kleefstra syndrome, previously named 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome, is either caused by a submicroscopic deletion in 9q34.3 or an intragenic mutation of EHMT1. We report a Mexican male patient with abnormal development, dysmorphism, systemic anomalies and a complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR). GTG-banding revealed a 46,XY,add(9)(q34.3) karyotype, whereas array analysis resulted in arr[hg19] 9p24.3p23(203,861-11,842,172)×3, 9q34.3(138,959,881-139,753,294)×3, 9q34.3(139,784,913-141,020,389)×1. Array and karyotype analyses were normal in both parents. Partial duplication of 9p is one of the most commonly detected autosomal structural abnormalities in liveborn infants. A microdeletion in 9q34.3 corresponds to Kleefstra syndrome, whereas a microduplication in 9q34.3 shows a great clinical variability. Here, we present a CCR in a patient with multiple congenital anomalies who represents the first case with partial 9p trisomy, partial 9q trisomy and partial 9q monosomy.

Abstract
The 9p trisomy syndrome is a rare condition, clinically characterized by a wide range of dysmorphic features, intellectual disability, and, in most patients, by short stature. Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy is still controversial in syndromic disorders, the reason for which it is not currently indicated. Here we report a 7-year-old boy with 9p trisomy syndrome and marked short stature. Results of routine laboratory assessments were normal. IGF1 and IGFBP3 levels were both in the normal range (-1.6 and -0.7 SDS, respectively). GH peak in response to oral clonidine stimulation test was 3.5 μg/L, which is considered a normal response. Chromosomal analysis revealed the karyotype 47,XY, + del(9)(pter-q11:) dn. SNP array data indicated absence of mosaicism [arr 9p24.3-p13.1 (203,861-38,787,480) x3]. By the age of 8.3 years, the patient had persistent short stature (-2.9 SDS) with normal growth velocity (4.9 cm/y; -0.7 SDS), not showing spontaneous catch-up. After 5.6 years of rhGH therapy (50 μg/kg/d), height SDS improved from -2.9 to -1.0. This result suggests that rhGH therapy could be considered for patients with 9p trisomy syndrome who present with short stature. The degree of intellectual disability and the potential for social inclusion should be taken into account when recommending this treatment. Additional studies are needed to establish the benefits of height gain in these patients.

Abstract
Partial trisomy 9 is a common autosomal trisomy, which is characterized by non-specific psychomotor delay, mental retardation and moderately abnormal characteristic facial features. Generally, partial trisomy 9 leads to variable phenotypes depending on the size and position of the duplicated region. However, a precise genotype/phenotype map has not been determined. The present study reports the case of a 3-year-old female with certain typical features of trisomy 9p syndrome, who presented with a number of the distinctive symptoms, as well as sensorineural hearing loss, which has not previously been associated with this trisomy. Karyotype, M-FISH and OaCGH analysis were performed on the patient and her parents. The final karyotype was determined to be 47, XX, +mar.ish der (9) (wcp9+). arr cgh 9pterq21.12 (DOCK8→LOC138225)×3. Cytogenetic results showed a de novo extra der (9) with 69.5 Mb duplication. Although the molecular mechanism underlying the hearing loss is unclear, it was proposed that the 9q13→9q21 region may be critical for hearing.

Abstract
Background Trisomy 9p is one of the most common partial trisomies found in newborns. We report the clinical features and cytogenomic findings in five patients with different chromosome rearrangements resulting in complete 9p duplication, three of them involving 9p centromere alterations. Methods The rearrangements in the patients were characterized by G-banding, SNP-array and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with different probes. Results Two patients presented de novo dicentric chromosomes: der(9;15)t(9;15)(p11.2;p13) and der(9;21)t(9;21)(p13.1;p13.1). One patient presented two concomitant rearranged chromosomes: a der(12)t(9;12)(q21.13;p13.33) and an psu i(9)(p10) which showed FISH centromeric signal smaller than in the normal chromosome 9. Besides the duplication 9p24.3p13.1, array revealed a 7.3 Mb deletion in 9q13q21.13 in this patient. The break in the psu i(9)(p10) probably occurred in the centromere resulting in a smaller centromere and with part of the 9q translocated to the distal 12p with the deletion 9q occurring during this rearrangement. Two patients, brother and sister, present 9p duplication concomitant to 18p deletion due to an inherited der(18)t(9;18)(p11.2;p11.31)mat. Conclusions The patients with trisomy 9p present a well-recognizable phenotype due to facial appearance, although the genotype-phenotype correlation can be difficult due to concomitant partial monosomy of other chromosomes. The chromosome 9 is rich in segmental duplication, especially in pericentromeric region, with high degree of sequence identity to sequences in 15p, 18p and 21p, chromosomes involved in our rearrangements. Thus, we suggest that chromosome 9 is prone to illegitimate recombination, either intrachromosomal or interchromosomal, which predisposes it to rearrangements, frequently involving pericentromeric regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trisomy 9p is an uncommon anomaly characterised by mental retardation, head and facial abnormalities, congenital heart defects, kidney abnormalities, and skeletal malformations. Affected children may also show growth and puberty retardation with delayed bone age. Auxological and endocrinological data are lacking for this syndrome. METHODS We describe three girls and one boy with 9p trisomy showing substantial growth failure, and we evaluate the main causes of their short stature. RESULTS The target height was normal in all families, ranging from 0.1 and -1.2 standard deviation scores (SDS). The patients had a low birth-weight (from -1.2 to -2.4 SDS), birth length (from -1.1 to -3.2 SDS), and head circumference (from -0.5 to -1.6 SDS). All patients presented with substantial growth (height) retardation at the time of 9p trisomy diagnosis (from -3.0 to -3.8 SDS).The growth hormone stimulation test revealed a classic growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) in patients 1, 3, and 4. In contrast, patient 2 was determined to have a GH neurosecretory dysfunction (GHNSD). The plasma concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were low in all patients for their ages and sexes (from -2.0 to -3.4 SDS, and from -1.9 to -2.8 SDS, respectively).The auxological follow-up showed that those patients who underwent rhGH treatment exhibited a very good response to the GH therapy, whereas patients 3 and 4, whose families chose not to use rhGH treatment, did not experience any significant catch-up growth. CONCLUSIONS GH deficiency appears to be a possible feature of patients with 9p trisomy syndrome. These patients, particularly those with growth delays, should be evaluated for GH secretion.

Abstract
Partial duplication and partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 9 have each been reported in the literature as clinically recognizable syndromes. We present clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular findings on a five-week-old female infant with concomitant duplication and terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 9. To our knowledge ten such cases have previously been reported. Conventional cytogenetic analysis identified additional material on chromosome 9 at band p23. FISH analysis aided in determining the additional material consisted of an inverted duplication with a terminal deletion of the short arm. Microarray analysis confirmed this interpretation and further characterized the abnormality as a duplication of about 32.7 Mb, from 9p23 to 9p11.2, and a terminal deletion of about 11.5 Mb, from 9p24.3 to 9p23. The infant displayed characteristic features of Duplication 9p Syndrome (hypotonia, bulbous nose, single transverse palmar crease, cranial anomalies), as well as features associated with Deletion 9p Syndrome (flat nasal bridge, long philtrum, cardiac anomalies) despite the deletion being distal to the reported critical region for this syndrome. This case suggests that there are genes or regulatory elements that lie outside of the reported critical region responsible for certain phenotypic features associated with Deletion 9p Syndrome. It also underscores the importance of utilizing array technology to precisely define abnormalities involving the short arm of 9p in order to further refine genotype/phenotype associations and to identify additional cases of duplication/deletion.

Abstract
We describe two individuals with the same chromosomal aberrations derived from an unbalanced translocation between chromosomes 8p and 9p, who presented with intellectual disabilities, dysmorphic features, and localization-related epilepsy. Several years after the onset of epilepsy, aggravation of widespread epileptic discharges during sleep resulted in the emergence of absence and/or atonic seizures in both patients; one patient additionally presented with psychomotor deterioration. These symptoms completely disappeared after treatment with ethosuximide and benzodiazepines, and marked improvement was observed in electroencephalographic findings. We review the clinical features of der(8)t(8;9) with particular focus on epileptic complications. We conclude that particular types of chromosomal aberrations may have a propensity to develop the condition categorized as electrical status epilepticus in sleep.

Abstract
Partial trisomy 9p is one of the most common detected autosomal structural anomalies, so the phenotype-genotype correlation of this rearrangement has been well described. Despite variation in size of the 9p duplications, trisomy 9p syndrome is characterized by typical dysmorphic features and a variable but constant psychomotor and mental retardation. Previously reported phenotype genotype correlation studies proposed that the critical region for phenotype is located in 9p22. We report here on a new patient with partial trisomy 9p13.3→9pter in an 8-year-old boy with typical trisomy 9p dysmorphic features but a normal mental development. Cytogenetics investigations showed that our patient karyotype was 47,XY,+ der(22)t(9;22)(p13.q11) inherited by a 3:1 disjunction of a maternal reciprocal translocation t(9;22)(p13.q11). FISH and array CGH analysis were used to better characterize duplicated chromosomal regions and showed a large duplication of chromosome 9p13.3→9pter associated to microduplication in 22q11.1. The size of the duplications in chromosomes 9p and 22q were estimated about 33.9 and 2.67 Mb, respectively. The comparison between this case and those reported in the literature allows us to support that all syndromes show variability and that not all partial trisomies 9p are associated with intellectual disability.

Abstract
Duplication 9p syndrome (partial trisomy 9p) is characterized by craniofacial anomalies, mental retardation, and distal phalangeal hypoplasia. Here, we present a female patient with microcephaly and incomplete bilateral cleft lip and palate, whose initial cytogenetic analysis revealed a de novo trisomy 9p. The patient, now 21 years old, has persistent microcephaly, craniofacial and hand anomalies, history of a seizure disorder, and global mental retardation. Oligonucleotide-based array comparative genomic hybridization was performed and revealed partial trisomy 9p21.1->9pter and a deletion of 9p12.1 to 9p11.2. Our case supports the utility of array comparative genomic hybridization for the precise characterization of chromosomal anomalies and for the ascertainment of genotype-phenotype correlation in patients with partial trisomy 9p.

Abstract
Approximately 15 patients with partial trisomy 9p involving de novo duplications have been previously described. Here, we present clinical, cytogenetic, FISH and aCGH findings in a patient with a de novo complex rearrangement in the short arm of chromosome 9 involving an inverted duplication at 9p24→p21.3 and a deletion at 9pter→p24.2. FISH probes generated from BACs selected from the UCSC genome browser were utilized to verify this rearrangement. It is likely that some previously described duplications of 9p may also be products of complex chromosomal aberrations. This report in which FISH and aCGH were used to more comprehensively characterize the genomic rearrangement in a patient with clinical manifestations of 9p duplication syndrome underscores the importance of further characterizing cytogenetically detected rearrangements.

Abstract
Background In routine Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) men with severe oligozoospermia or azoospermia should be informed about the risk of de novo congenital or chromosomal abnormalities in ICSI program. Also the benefits of preimplantation or prenatal genetic diagnosis practice need to be explained to the couple. Methods From a routine ICSI attempt, using ejaculated sperm from male with severe oligozoospermia and having normal karyotype, a 30 years old pregnant woman was referred to prenatal diagnosis in the 17th week for bichorionic biamniotic twin gestation. Amniocentesis was performed because of the detection of an increased foetal nuchal translucency for one of the fetus by the sonographic examination during the 12th week of gestation (WG). Chromosome and DNA studies of the fetus were realized on cultured amniocytes Results Conventional, molecular cytogenetic and microarray CGH experiments allowed us to conclude that the fetus had a de novo pericentromeric inversion associated with a duplication of the 9p22.1-p24 chromosomal region, 46,XY,invdup(9)(p22.1p24) [arrCGH 9p22.1p24 (RP11-130C19 → RP11-87O1)x3]. As containing the critical 9p22 region, our case is in coincidence with the general phenotype features of the partial trisomy 9p syndrome with major growth retardation, microcephaly and microretrognathia. Conclusion This de novo complex chromosome rearrangement illustrates the possible risk of chromosome or gene defects in ICSI program and the contribution of array-CGH for mapping rapidly de novo chromosomal imbalance.

Abstract
Trisomy 9p is one of the most frequent autosomal anomalies compatible with a long survival rate. Clinical characteristics are craniofacial dysmorphisms including hypertelorism, prominent nose, deepset eyes, and down-slanting palpebral fissures. The degree of clinical severity in trisomy 9 roughly correlates with the extent of trisomic chromosomal material. If the trisomic segments include the long arm of chromosome 9, clinical findings may not fit into the trisomy 9p but rather resemble trisomy 9 mosaic syndrome and are associated with muscular and cardiac anomalies. Therefore, breakpoints as well as clinical findings need to be precisely defined for differential diagnosis. Cases with trisomy 9p, especially involving proximal 9q, are very rare in Korea. The patient was a 1,920 g male infant born at 36 weeks 3 days of gestation to a 27-yr-old mother and 32-yr-old father after Cesarian section. The patient showed specific craniofacial anomalies, cardiac defects, and hand anomalies. Routine cytogenetic analysis, performed on peripheral blood using GTG banding, showed 46,XY,+der(9)t (9;21)(q13;q21),-21pat. Furthermore, FISH (Vysis Inc., USA) analysis with whole chromosome painting probes confirmed the derivative chromosome 9.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trisomy 9 is an uncommon chromosome abnormality that may be seen in a mosaic or non-mosaic state. OBJECTIVE To better define the phenotype and prognosis of this disorder we report a new case of mosaic trisomy 9 with a long-term survival. CLINICAL REPORT We present the case of a female patient, born from the first pregnancy of a healthy couple. Fetal ultrasounds disclosed intrauterine growth retardation and oligohydramnios. Cesarean section was performed in the 34th week. Birth weight was 1,478 g. Neonatal examination showed: dolichocephaly; hypotelorism, microphthalmia, short palpebral fissures; broad-based nose with bulbous tip; micrognathia; low-set malformed ears; abnormal hands and feet; no other malformations. The initial karyotype determination was normal (46,XX). At 17 months of age, a second karyotype was requested because the patient developed severe psychomotor retardation. Chromosome analysis showed mosaic trisomy 9 (46,XX/47,XX, + 9). Six months later, a single upper central incisor was noted. To our knowledge, this feature has not been reported previously in the trisomy 9. The patient is now 4 years old. She shows severe psychomotor retardation, but no other complications. COMMENTS It is important to be aware of the possibility that mosaicism may exist in a patient with normal blood karyotype and abnormal phenotype. We conclude that a great number of cells is needed in order to obtain a correct karyotype diagnosis. Correct diagnosis is essential to define the prognosis and provide accurate genetic counselling.

Abstract
In total, 200 families were reviewed with directly transmitted, cytogenetically visible unbalanced chromosome abnormalities (UBCAs) or euchromatic variants (EVs). Both the 130 UBCA and 70 EV families were divided into three groups depending on the presence or absence of an abnormal phenotype in parents and offspring. No detectable phenotypic effect was evident in 23/130 (18%) UBCA families ascertained mostly through prenatal diagnosis (group 1). In 30/130 (23%) families, the affected proband had the same UBCA as other phenotypically normal family members (group 2). In the remaining 77/130 (59%) families, UBCAs had consistently mild consequences (group 3). In the 70 families with established EVs of 8p23.1, 9p12, 9q12, 15q11.2, and 16p11.2, no phenotypic effect was apparent in 38/70 (54%). The same EV was found in affected probands and phenotypically normal family members in 30/70 families (43%) (group 2), and an EV co-segregated with mild phenotypic anomalies in only 2/70 (3%) families (group 3). Recent evidence indicates that EVs involve copy number variation of common paralogous gene and pseudogene sequences that are polymorphic in the normal population and only become visible at the cytogenetic level when copy number is high. The average size of the deletions and duplications in all three groups of UBCAs was close to 10 Mb, and these UBCAs and EVs form the "Chromosome Anomaly Collection" at http://www.ngrl.org.uk/Wessex/collection. The continuum of severity associated with UBCAs and the variability of the genome at the sub-cytogenetic level make further close collaboration between medical and laboratory staff essential to distinguish clinically silent variation from pathogenic rearrangement.

Abstract
We present a patient with a hypoplastic left heart (HLH), dislocations of the hips and knees, and minor dysmorphic features, who had an abnormal karyotype that resulted in trisomy for 9p and a portion of 9q: 46,((, dic(or tri?)(9)(9pter --> 9q34::9q21 --> 9pter).ish(WCP9++).ish(D9Z5X4 +/+++). The derivative chromosome consisted of an additional copy of the proximal q arm and p arm attached to 9qter in an inverted fashion. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a chromosome 9 beta-satellite probe revealed three signals on the abnormal chromosome 9, suggesting the presence of 3 pericentromeric regions on the der(9). The 9q subtelomere was present on both the normal and derivative chromosome 9, suggesting that very little material, if any, is deleted.

Abstract
We studied the case of a girl with a partial 9p duplication, dup(9)(p22.1 --> p13.1). Molecular cytogenetics studies defined the chromosome 9 rearrangement as a direct duplication of 20 Mb from D9S1213 to D9S52. Microsatellite analysis demonstrated the presence of a double dosage of the paternal alleles and demonstrated that the duplication occurred between sister chromatids. The patient's phenotype was almost normal, with a few minor anomalies (dolichocephaly, crowded teeth, high arched palate) and normal IQ. The breakpoint's location in this patient and previously reported cases suggest that the critical region for the 9p duplication syndrome lies within a 6-Mb portion of chromosome 9p22 between markers D9S267 and D9S1213.

Abstract
A girl with mental retardation and multiple minor anomalies was found to have a complex chromosome 9p re-arrangement comprising a deleted, translocated Y chromosome, a deletion of the sex reversal gene region (DMRT1) at 9p, together with an inverted duplication of the more proximal part of 9p. The karyotype was 45,X,der(Y;9)(Ypter-->Yq12::9p21.1-->9p22.2::9p22.2-->9qter) de novo. The karyotypic male, phenotypic female had a dysgerminoma of the left dysplastic ovary. The patient had typical 'trisomy 9p' syndrome, and we propose that the critical region for this phenotype is located between 9p22.1 and 9p22.2.

Abstract
We describe a family with an insertion 12;9 translocation occurring in a balanced form in a mother and two sons, but in an unbalanced form in the proband, resulting in trisomy of chromosome region 9p22-->9p24. The proband manifests typical features of trisomy 9p; the clinical signs were mental and growth retardation, microcephaly, epicanthus, low-set ears, micrognathia, clinodactyly and hypoplastic phalanges of the fifth fingers, hypoplasia or absence of toenails, and extremely small genitals. The GTG-banded findings were confirmed using (micro)FISH. Intriguingly, the mother and the two carrier sons exhibited major learning difficulties that were not present in the non-carrier sister of the mother: this may be due to a gene disruption or induction of abnormal expression. Dysmorphic features were not present in the three carriers. We compare our clinical and cytogenetic findings with other cases of partial trisomy 9p reported in the literature.

Abstract
We report on a girl with the typical trisomy 9p syndrome who had an additional E-sized metacentric chromosome. On the basis of GTG- and CBG-banding, her karyotype was considered to be 47,XX,+der(9)(pter-->q13::q13-->q12:) de novo. Results of a fluorescence in situ hybridization study using a chromosome 9-specific painting probe were compatible with this cytogenetic interpretation. Molecular analyses of six highly polymorphic dinucleotide repeat loci on the short arm and the proximal long arm of chromosome 9 demonstrated that the girl inherited one allele from her father and two identical or different alleles from the mother. We speculated that the extra chromosome may have resulted from either nondisjunction of chromosome 9 followed by a U-type exchange and a crossing-over between different sister chromatids during maternal meiosis I and subsequent breakage and malsegregation during meiosis II, or nondisjunction during meiosis II followed by isochromosome formation in one of the two maternal chromosomes 9 and subsequent breakage.

Abstract
An infant girl was referred for a genetic consultation because of facial appearance suggestive of Wolf-Hirschorn syndrome (WHS), growth retardation and generalized hypotonia. She had an unbalanced karyotype 46,XX,der(4)t(4;9)(p15.2;p22)mat resulting in the deletion of the critical region for WHS and duplication of the critical region for the 9p duplication syndrome. The mother and the grandmother of proposita were the carriers of an apparently balanced translocation 46,XX,t(4;9)(p15.2;p22). The infant's phenotype was characteristic of WHS syndrome rather than that of duplication 9p phenotype. This is probably the first description of WHS phenotype resulting from a familial 4;9 translocation.

We describe a child with a supernumerary chromosome defined as der(9)t(9;22) (q12;p11), resulting in trisomy 9p and trisomy 22p. The mother carried the balanced translocation. In G- and C-banding the derivative chromosome 9 appeared to be dicentric and to contain 22q material. Using in situ hybridization we defined the exact breakpoints of the translocation and ruled out the possibility of a centric fission in the mother's chromosomes.

Abstract
We report on two additional cases with duplication of 9p, minor with facial anomalies and developmental delay. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization and single-copy probes, we showed that the first case was a direct duplication, whereas the second case was inverted. The extent of the direct duplication was defined as 9p12 --> p24 by microdissection and microcloning of the aberrant chromosome and subsequent chromosome-specific comparative genomic hybridization. DNA polymorphism analysis with eight microsatellite markers revealed that the origin of the dup(9p) was maternal in the first case, whereas it was paternal in the second.

Abstract
We report on a female infant with partial trisomy 9p (pter-->p13) and partial trisomy 14q (pter-->q22) resulting from a 3:1 segregation of a maternal reciprocal translocation (9;14)(p13;q22). Both trisomy 9p and partial trisomy 14q have been described as recognized phenotypes with characteristic patterns of anomalies. This patient appears to be the first reported with a partial duplication of both 9p and 14q resulting in an overlapping phenotype including minor facial anomalies, cleft palate, and hand-foot anomalies. However, the facial findings were more pronounced than commonly observed in cases with only one or the other duplicated chromosome regions, resulting in a distinctive appearance.

Abstract
We report on clinical and cytogenetic findings in a boy with partial 9p duplication, dup(9)(p21pter). Clinical manifestations included facial and hand anomalies and mental retardation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) were used to characterize further and confirm the conventional banding data. Investigation by FISH using whole chromosome 9 paint probe showed that the additional material was derived from chromosome 9. Using CGH, a region of gain was found in the chromosome segment 9p21pter. YACs and telomeric probes confirmed the duplicated region. Using the all-human telomeric sequences probe, intrachromosomal telomeric signal was noted on the short arm of the abnormal chromosome 9. Mechanism of formation of the duplication, including intrachromosomal telomeric sequences, is discussed.

Abstract
In this communication, we describe two cases of proximal 2q trisomy (2q11.2--> q21.1) resulting from an interchromosomal insertion. The chromosomal origin of the insertion was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridisation. An unbalanced karyotype, 46,XX,der(8) ,ins(8;2) (p21.3; q21.1q11.2), was found in the proband and her mother, who both have mild mental retardation, short stature, dysmorphic features, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and a psychotic illness. This family is a rare example of direct transmission of a partial autosomal trisomy.
