To date, approximately 30 patients have been described with a tetrasomy 9p, all being caused by the presence of an isochromosome 9p. We now report on a 3-year-old boy with a de novo intrachromosomal triplication of 9p13-p22, resulting in partial tetrasomy 9p. We compared his phenotype with cases of tetrasomy 9p caused by the presence of an extra isochromosome 9p. He has facial anomalies similar to those of cases of tetrasomy 9p, central nervous system abnormalities, and severe psychomotor retardation but no other major congenital anomalies. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with region-specific probes showed that the middle repeat of the triplicated part is inverted. Microsatellite analysis demonstrated an involvement of both paternal chromosome 9 homologues in the triplication. This is compatible with either unequal crossing over of three of the four chromatids in paternal meiosis I or with a double crossing over in meiosis I and II (or an early mitotic division).

MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS) is caused by copy number variation (CNV) spanning the MECP2 gene at Xq28 and is a major cause of intellectual disability (ID) in males. Herein, we describe two unrelated males harboring non-recurrent complex Xq28 rearrangements associated with MDS. Copy number gains were initially detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and further delineated by high-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization, familial segregation, expression analysis and X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) evaluation in a carrier mother.

Article Synopsis
- - The study tackles the challenge of linking genetic variations to observable traits by exploring how female moles develop masculinizing ovotestes, using advanced phylogenomic techniques.
- - Researchers combined various biological datasets (genome assembly, transcriptomics, etc.) to identify key genetic rearrangements that affect genes related to sex differentiation in moles.
- - Through experiments with transgenic mice, the study demonstrates that changes in noncoding genetic sequences can significantly influence physical traits, underscoring the effectiveness of holistic genomic analysis.

Background: Intrachromosomal triplications (TRP) can contribute to disease etiology via gene dosage effects, gene disruption, position effects, or fusion gene formation. Recently, post-zygotic de novo triplications adjacent to copy-number neutral genomic intervals with runs of homozygosity (ROH) have been shown to result in uniparental isodisomy (UPD). The genomic structure of these complex genomic rearrangements (CGRs) shows a consistent pattern of an inverted triplication flanked by duplications (DUP-TRP/INV-DUP) formed by an iterative DNA replisome template-switching mechanism during replicative repair of a single-ended, double-stranded DNA (seDNA), the ROH results from an interhomolog or nonsister chromatid template switch.

Intrachromosomal triplications are complex chromosomal rearrangements which arise during meiosis or mitosis and lead to a tetrasomic dose of the affected genomic regions. We describe a female patient harboring an intrachromosomal triplication who presented to the Genetics clinic with dysmorphic features, including telecanthus, flat facial profile, and prognathism, short stature, widely spaced nipples, multiple allergy complaints, loose bowel movements, and mild speech delay. Microarray analysis showed a copy number gain of a 22.
