Mosaic tetrasomy 20p associated with osteoporosis and recurrent fractures.

Abstract excerpt

Tetrasomy 20p is a very rare chromosome abnormality, with only two single cases previously reported in the literature, both fetuses with multiple congenital anomalies, osteopenia, and fractures. We report on the first case of mosaic tetrasomy 20p in a 13-year-old male. Amniocentesis karyotype showed mosaicism (73% of cells) for a supernumerary marker chromosome, an isodicentric chromosome 20p. At birth, cord...
