Abstract
A 3-year-old boy with partial No. 9 tetrasomy is described. The patient showed markedly retarded physical and mental development as well as multiple congenital anomalies. Routine chromosome analysis revealed an extra C-group chromosome. It had a pronounced secondary constriction at the proximal part of its long arm. Based on studies by a variety of banding techniques, the extra chromosome was identified to be an iso-dicentric No. 9 chromosome with inactivation of one of the two centromeres, the karyotype being 47,XY, + DIC (9)(Q2101). The value of BrdUrd treatment was emphasized in the detection of a very small piece of euchromatin within a long stretch of constitutive heterochromatin.Entities:
