Tetrasomy for the distal long arm of chromosome 15 is a rare finding. It has been previously described in seven patients, all of whom had a supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) derived from distal 15q. These SMC contained no apparent centromeres (C-band/alpha-satellite negative), and belong to a novel class of SMC with neocentromeres. We present the oldest surviving patient with tetrasomy for distal 15q. The...
