A newborn male with multiple malformations and an extrachromosome is presented. The cytogenetic study of peripheral blood lymphocytes revealed tetrasomy 9p: 47,XY, + t(9;9)(pter----q13::p11----pter). The C-banding pattern provided evidence for maternal origin of the extrachromosome. Tetrasomy for the short arm of chromosome 9 is a very rare condition; reports about only ten further patients have been found in the literature. The phenotypic expression resembles trisomy 9p, but tetrasomy 9p has more severe additional malformations.

Diagnostic Accuracy Performance of Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for Biliary Strictures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Clin Med

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, 200, First St SW, Rochester, MN 55905, USA.
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of UroVysion FISH testing in detecting pancreaticobiliary malignancy by analyzing various definitions of a positive result from different studies.
- The review included data from 18 studies with a total of 2,516 FISH specimens, identifying 1,133 cases (45.0%) of malignancy, while reporting an overall sensitivity of 57.6% and specificity of 87.8% across studied definitions.
- Results indicated that using polysomy alone as a positive threshold provided high specificity (96.2%) but lower sensitivity (49.4%), whereas combining polysomy with tetrasomy/trisomy improved sensitivity to 64.3% but reduced specificity

Article Synopsis
- - Genetic counseling for mosaic and non-mosaic tetrasomy 9p is complex due to potential congenital abnormalities and variations in genetic material across different tissues.
- - Challenges arise from both true-positive and false-positive results in non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), along with complications like uniparental disomy (UPD) and tissue-limited mosaicism.
- - This article offers a thorough review of the counseling issues related to prenatal diagnosis of tetrasomy 9p, making it a valuable resource for genetic counselors.

Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis involves karyotyping and chromosomal analysis, but there's a need for better recognition of cases with mild symptoms.
- * The article presents a unique adult case of mosaic tetrasomy 9p in a patient with multiple pilomatrixomas, suggesting this condition could be a new hallmark of the syndrome.

Previous reports have shown that a gain of the chromosome 9 short arm (9p) is associated with choroid plexus hyperplasia (CPH). Furthermore, CPH can lead to communicating hydrocephalus; however, no cases of CPH with 9p gain requiring choroid plexus resection have been reported. Here, we describe the first case in which a 9p hexasomy/tetrasomy mosaic patient required choroid plexus resection for hydrocephalus.
