Trisomy 9 is a rare chromosome abnormality which can occur in a mosaic or nonmosaic state with similar clinical features. The authors present a male with mosaic trisomy 9 from birth to 6 months of life. Clinical manifestations included growth retardation, facial dysmorphism with marked hemi facial hypoplasia and facial asymmetry, single palmar flexion crease, retro calcaneovalgus feet, atrial septal defect, undescended testes and hypospadia. He had several episodes of seizures and ultrasound examination described severe ventriculomegaly, with poorly differentiated parenchyme. These findings are compared to the other previously described cases of trisomy 9 mosaicism through a review of literature.
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.
