title: Complex de novo rearrangement involving four chromosomes and ten break points with interstitial deletions and duplication.
abstract: We describe an unusual de novo case of two interstitial deletions (5q22----5q31; 9q13----9p22) and one duplication (9q22----9p34) resulting from a 10-breakpoint, complex chromosome rearrangement of chromosomes 1, 5, 8, and 9 in a profoundly retarded woman.
