Direct two-generation transmission of an unbalanced 18p+ chromosome was discovered after amniocentesis. Neither the mother nor the child exhibited apparent physical malformations or mental impairment. Banding analysis suggested a complete 18p duplication. Molecular studies verified the 18p origin of the duplicated material. Only 14 previous cases of duplication 18p have been reported and these exhibited either a...
