Abstract
-
We report the first de novo case of a heterochromatic duplication on the long
arm of the chromosome 9, which then was pericentrically inverted at p11q13. This
condition was detected prenatally and carry to term. We then performed the
follow up for over 1 year. So far, there seems to be no phenotypical
abnormalities.
