title: Inverted distal duplication of the long arm of chromosome 8: borderline intelligence and discrete dysmorphic syndrome.
abstract: In this report, we describe an 11-years-old girl with inverted duplication in the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 8 (inv dup(8)(q24.11----q24.3). The most remarkable finding is her borderline intelligence and her nearly normal phenotype.
