Partial trisomy 8q and partial monosomy 18p: a case report.
We report clinical observations and cytogenetic studies of an inherited partial trisomy 8q and partial monosomy 18p. A full trisomy 8 syndrome (Warkany syndrome) is a clinically recognized syndrome. Partial trisomy 8q has been reported sporadically in the literature with variable phenotypes. Partial monosomy 18p, deletion of the short arm of chromosome 18, is also a well-recognized syndrome. This is the first report to the best of our knowledge of partial trisomy for distal 8q and partial monosomy for distal 18p occurring together in a patient.
