Partial trisomy 4q and monosomy 9p resulting from a familial translocation t(4;9)(q27;p24) in a child with choanal atresia.
A male infant with a deletion of 9p and concomitant duplication of 4q: 46,XY, der(9)t(4;9)(q27;p24), is described. Parental chromosome analysis showed a balanced maternal translocation. To our knowledge, the above cytogenetic and clinical abnormalities have not been described previously. A phenotype comparison is presented with previously reported cases concerning a deletion of 9p and a duplication of 4q.
