Abstract excerpt
We describe a female infant with severe abnormal phenotype with a de novo partial duplication of the short arm of the X chromosome. Chromosome painting confirmed the origin of this X duplication. Molecular cytogenetic analysis with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed with YAC probes, further delineating the breakpoints. The karyotype was 46, X dup(X)(p11-p21.2). Cytogenetic replication studies...
