Three cases of partial trisomy 7q are described. One case had duplication of region 7q22.1----q31.2 owing to a de novo direct intra-arm intrachromosomal duplication. The other two cases, first cousins, were trisomic for 7q34----qter, resulting from recombination within the inserted segment of a dir ins(7;17)(q34;q23.1q25.3)mat. All three cases had a number of the already recorded manifestations of partial trisomy 7q, namely strabismus, low set ears, depressed nasal bridge, small nose, hypotonia, and mental retardation.

We report a 15 month old boy with prominent metopic suture, epicanthal folds, strabismus, low-set ears, microretrognathia, large anterior fontanel, bilateral simian creases, muscular hypotonia, and severe psychomotor retardation. He also had West syndrome. An electroencephalogram showed hypsarrythmia, and cranial MR indicated a myelinisation delay. Standard karyotyping showed additional material on one chromosome 9p. Using FISH, a terminal 7q duplication spanning 26 Mb in size and a terminal 9p deletion sized (at least) 9.1 Mb were identified. The father had a karyotype of t(7;9)(q33;p23) and the mother's karyotype was normal. The boy presented typical facial features of the distal 7q duplication syndrome but no genital anomalies attributable to his distal 9p deletion. We assume that the severe epilepsy is likely due to the trisomy 7q.
