We report a term male infant with congenital stridor secondary to tracheomalacia and a mild coarctation of the aorta. Developmental delay was noted upon follow-up. Whole genome SNP microarray analysis showed an ∼846-kb interstitial duplication of the short arm of chromosome 8 (8p11.21p11.1). We report novel clinical findings of this rare genetic condition.

Diagnosing hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) in paediatric patients can be challenging, especially when there is no positive family history. Children are often initially misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy due to the gradual progression of the disease and non-specific neuroimaging findings, despite the absence of perinatal insult. This misdiagnosis can prevent timely prenatal diagnosis, limiting the ability to make informed decisions about the pregnancy and to plan early interventions.

Split Hand/Foot Malformation (SHFM) is a rare congenital disorder often linked to genetic duplications that disrupt normal limb development. Here, we present a novel case of SHFM associated with a 10q24.32 microduplication, identified through prenatal diagnosis.

Background Previously, fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT) were mainly tested for aneuploidy. Recent evidence has shown an incidence of other genetic disorders in euploidy fetuses with thickened NT. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) can detect the incremental yield of microdeletions and microduplications (copy number variants (CNVs)) and provide useful information for prenatal counseling.
