    Abstract:
    Microdeletion and microduplication syndromes are well-known causes of developmental delay and/or malformations of differing severity. Although homogeneous abnormalities can now be detected relatively easily using microarray technologies, they are more difficult to detect and interpret in cases of mosaicism. Here, we report on a male infant with a mosaic de novo derivative chromosome 9, featuring a 10.2 Mb 5q35 duplication (including the NSD1 gene) and a 687 kb 9q34 deletion (including EHMT1). The infant presented developmental delay, short stature, brachy/plagiocephaly and hyperactivity. The proportion of abnormal cells was 50% in saliva (in a microarray analysis) and 25% in lymphocytes (in a FISH analysis). Despite the low-level mosaicism in lymphocytes, this imbalance appears to be responsible for a distinctive phenotype (suggesting the presence of variable clinical expression and/or major somatic mosaicism).
