There have only been eight patients with 6p pure trisomy involving different segments: four cases resulted from a translocation or insertion and four were due to an intrachromosomal duplication. We report here the first postnatally ascertained patient with a pure 6p partial trisomy due to an interchromosomal insertion (16;6)(p12;p21.2p23)mat. This rearrangement was confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with whole chromosome 6 and 16 painting probes. The clinical findings in the present patient were similar to those observed in previous cases, including craniofacial dysmorphism, minor anomalies, and lack of severe anatomical defects; yet, the unspecificity of many of these features prevented us from delineating the 6p pure trisomy syndrome.
