title: [Trisomy 13qter by tandem duplication 46, XX, dir dup 13 (q21 qter), 9qh+].
abstract: A tandem translocation of chromosome 13-46,XXdup13(q21 leads to qter)--occurred de novo in a patient with the following features: normal birthweight; early feeding difficulties; mild psychomotor retardation; low set hairline on the forehead; thick eyebrows; long, upturned eyelashes; pointed nose; micrognathia; large, flat, posteriorly rotated ears; multiple hemangiomata; normal hematological status. The hypothesis of an unequal crossing-over is discussed, as well as the possibility of constructing a phenotypic map of chromosome 13.
