Objective: We present tetrasomy of 11q13.4-q14.3 due to an intrachromosomal triplication associated with paternal isodisomy of uniparental disomy (iso-UPD) for 11q14.3-qter and multiple abnormalities.
Case Report: A 30-year-old primigravid woman was found to have intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in the fetus since 28 weeks of gestation, and a 2056-g baby was delivered at 38 weeks of gestation with fetal distress. The baby postnatally manifested hypotonia, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism of micrognathia, retrognathia and low-set ears, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, tricuspid regurgitation and corpus callosum dysgenesis. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array comparative genomic hybridization analysis on the DNA extracted from the peripheral blood revealed the result of arr 11q13.4q14.3 (71,567,724-89,547,851) × 4, arr 11q14.3q25 (89,466,484-134,942,626) hmz [GRCh37 (hg19)] with a 17.980-Mb triplication of 11q13.4-q14.3 encompassing the genes of GRM5 and MAP6, and loss of heterozygosity for a 45.476-Mb region of 11q14.3-qter consistent with iso-UPD for 11q14.3-qter. Polymorphic DNA marker analysis confirmed paternal iso-UPD for 11q14.3-qter. Cytogenetic analysis of the blood revealed a karyotype of 46,XY,trp(11) (q13.4q14.3). The parental karyotypes were normal. When follow-ups at age 2 years, the neonate manifested physical and psychomotor developmental delay and intellectual disability.
Conclusion: Tetrasomy 11q13.4-q14.3 may present the phenotype of IUGR, developmental delay, corpus callosum dysgenesis, microcephaly, congenital heart defects and facial dysmorphism.

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.

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

Background: Cat eye syndrome (CES) is a rare congenital disease frequently caused by a partial tetrasomy of the proximal long (q) arm of chromosome 22, due to a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC). CES patients show remarkable phenotypic variability. Despite the progress of molecular cytogenetic technology, the cause of phenotypic variability and the genotype-phenotype correlations remain unknown.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to investigate a fetus diagnosed with 15q11q13 complex duplication syndrome, focusing on its clinical features and genetic causes.
- Clinical data was collected and advanced genetic tests were performed, including karyotyping and exome sequencing, revealing significant chromosomal duplications originating from the mother.
- Literature review identified 11 similar cases of hexasomy associated with intellectual and developmental challenges, suggesting a pattern of mental retardation and other developmental delays linked to this syndrome.
