Tetrasomy 18p: tentative delineation of a syndrome

Denise A S Batista 1, Angela M Vianna-Morgante 1, A Richieri-Costa 1
PMCID: PMC1049022  PMID: 6842551

Abstract

A patient is described with multiple congenital anomalies and probable tetrasomy 18p resulting from an extra i(18p) in an otherwise normal karyotype. Review of ten previously reported i(18p) cases allowed the tentative characterisation of a tetrasomy 18p syndrome.
