Isochromosome 18p results in tetrasomy 18p. Most of the i(18p) cases reported so far in the literature are sporadic due to de novo formation, while familial and mosaic cases are infrequent. It is a rare chromosomal abnormality, occurring once in every 140,000 livebirths, affecting males and females equally. In the present investigation, we report a de novo i(18p) in a female dysmorphic child. The small metacentric marker chromosome was confirmed as i(18p) in the proband by cytogenetic and FISH analysis [47,XX+i(18p)]. Cytogenetic investigations in the family members revealed normal chromosome numbers, indicating the case as a de novo event of i(18p) formation. It could be due to the somewhat advanced maternal age (32 years) and/or expression of recessive genes in the proband, who is the progeny of consanguineous marriage, which could have led to misdivision and nondisjunction of chromosome 18 in meiosis I, followed by failure in the chromatid separation of 18p in meiosis II and by inverted duplication.

Article Synopsis
- - A 37-year-old woman with a balanced reciprocal translocation was found to have a high-risk non-invasive prenatal screening test indicating potential chromosome 18 abnormalities during her 13th week of pregnancy.
- - Advanced techniques including cytogenetic analysis, FISH, and SNP-array were used to analyze her amniotic cells, revealing duplications on chromosome 18 and chromosome 9, suggesting aneuploidies.
- - The study emphasizes the importance of using a combination of NIPT and detailed cytogenetic approaches to accurately detect and confirm chromosomal anomalies in high-risk pregnancies.

Background: Tetrasomy 18p syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder that is caused by the presence of isochromosome 18p. Most tetrasomy 18p cases are de novo cases and maternal origin of trisomy 18p is a rare condition. At present, only four cases of maternal origin have been reported in worldwide.

Tetrasomy 18p is often the result of an additional isochromosome for the short arm of chromosome 18. Although many organ systems are affected phenotypically, the ocular manifestations associated with tetrasomy 18p have not been well characterized in the literature. This case report presents the ocular and facial features associated with tetrasomy 18p in a 4-year-old Black girl, along with a review of clinical presentations previously reported in the literature.

Background: Phenotypically discordant monozygotic twins (PDMZTs) offer a unique opportunity to study post-zygotic genetic variation and provide insights into the linkage between genotype and phenotype. We report a comprehensive analysis of a pair of PDMZTs.
Methods: Dysmorphic features and delayed neuro-motor development were observed in the proband, whereas her twin sister was phenotypically normal.
