Partial trisomy 2q: report of a patient with dup (2)(q33.1q35).

The partial trisomy 2q phenotype has been well described in the literature, primarily through cases of unbalanced translocations. While these reports contributed to the initial delineation of the phenotype, reports of de novo duplications are valuable in that they exist in the absence of an accompanying monosomy. We describe a 16-month-old female with a de novo duplication of 2q from bands q33.

Monosomy 6q1: syndrome delineation.

We report on a girl with a de novo 6q1 interstitial deletion. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case with a deletion of 6q11-q15. We review the phenotype of monosomy 6q1.
