title: Partial 9p monosomy in a girl with a tdic(9p23;13p11) translocation, minor anomalies, obesity, and mental retardation.
abstract: We report on a case with a partial monosomy for the regions 9p23 --> pter and 13p11 --> pter as a result of a de novo translocation (9p23;13p11). The patient, a 16-year-old girl, has mental deficiency, obesity, and minor anomalies, including trigonocephaly, hypertelorism and a short, broad neck. Cytogenetic and microsatellite marker analysis allowed us to assign the breakpoint to the chromosomal region 9p23, flanked by the markers D9S144 and D9S157. In an attempt to establish a phenotype-genotype correlation, the clinical manifestations present in our patient are compared to those with partial 9p monosomy and breakpoint in p23, referred to in the literature.
