  • Title: De novo inverted interstitial ("mirror") duplication of chromosome 8(q13----q24.1) in a liveborn male.
    Author: Donnenfeld AE, Coyne MD, Beauregard LJ.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1990 Apr; 35(4):529-31. PubMed ID: 2333884.
    Abstract:
    We report on a newborn boy with a de novo inverted interstitial duplication of chromosome 8(q13----q24.1). This form of cytogenetic abnormality, in which a mirror image interstitial duplication has occurred, is exceedingly rare. Review of the literature and mechanisms to explain the origin of this type of chromosome aberration are presented. A review of the findings from individuals with partial dup(8q) demonstrate remarkable similarity to the infant we describe.
