We report on an infant with partial tetrasomy of chromosome 9 due to the presence in her peripheral lymphocytes and in 55% of skin fibroblasts of an isochromosome 9 comprised of the p arm and of a portion of the q arm extending to band q21.1. The phenotype is comparable to that of other cases with a similar chromosome aberration, with multiple joint dislocations as a prominent manifestation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
