We report on a twenty-two months old male patient with hypotonia, mental and motor retardation and trigonocephaly. Standard GTG banding chromosomal analysis (from metaphyses of a periferal blood lymphocyte culture) showed 46,XY, der(9) monosomy 9pter-->p22, trisomy 10q26--> qter karyotype. This unbalanced translocation resulted from the father's t(9,10) (p22;p26) karyotype. Deletions of the terminal part of 9p and partial trisomy of chromosome 10q are rare chromosomal disorders. To our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature of a deletion of 9pter-->p22.3 and a duplication of 10q26-->qter. We assume that the clinical anomalies are due to der(9) monosomy 9pter-->p22, trisomy 10q-->26qter.

Duplications of the long arm of the X chromosome are rare. The infantile phenotype shares some resemblance with the Prader-Willi syndrome, presenting severe psychomotor retardation, facial dysmorphic features with a broad face, a small mouth and a thin pointed nose, hypotonia, urogenital malformation and proneness to infections. We report a boy with an additional Xq27-qter chromosome segment translocated onto the short arm of chromosome 3. The karyotype was 46,XY,der(3)t(X;3)(q27.3; p26.3)mat. This cryptic unbalanced X-autosome translocation resulted in Xq27-qter functional disomy and a deletion 3p26.3. A detailed analysis of the constitutional chromosomal changes in the patient was performed using array-CGH, FISH and PCR. The aim was to characterize the size and the location of the duplication Xq27-qter (8.18 Mb) and of the deletion 3p26.3 (1.05 Mb), to establish phenotype-genotype correlations and to offer genetic counselling.

Interstitial deletions of the short arm of chromosome 3 are rare. We report on a 3-year-old girl with intellectual disability, muscular hypotonia, strabismus, and facial anomalies in whom an interstitial 1.24 Mb deletion in 3p25.3-p26.1 was detected by SNP array analysis. The deleted region harbors 11 RefSeq genes including CAV3 and SRGAP3/MEGAP, which had been associated with muscle disorders and intellectual disability, respectively. The deletion overlaps with a slightly larger deletion in a girl with a more complex phenotype including congenital heart defect and epilepsy, which indicates that haploinsufficiency of one or several of the genes in the deleted interval causes intellectual deficits, but not heart defects or epilepsy. Thus, the patient broadens our knowledge of the phenotypic consequences of deletions in 3p25.3-p26.1 and facilitates genotype-phenotype correlations for chromosome aberrations of this region.
