[Tetrasomy of the short arm of human chromosome 18: cytogenetics and phenotypic disorders].
Two mentally retarded girls with a small metacentric nonsatellite extrachromosome were examined. Probands were found to share many clinical features: asthenic constitution, microcephalia, low-set malformed ears, high arched palate, long fingers and toes, a wide gap between first and second toes, clinodactyly of the 1st and 5th fingers, scoliosis. The extrachromosome was unequivocally interpreted as an isochromosome for the short arm of chromosome 18. Review of 12 i (18p) cases permits characterizing a syndrome of tetrasomy 18p.
