title: Partial monosomy of the short arm of chromosome 9: a distinct clinical entity.
abstract: A 10-year-old girl with partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 9 is reported; karyotype: 46,XX,del(9)(p22). This syndrome results in a distinctive craniofacial dysmorphism with trigonocephaly and contrasting midfacial hypoplasia. Partial monosomy 9p was the result of a paternal de novo germinal deletion in this case.
