Partial proximal 10q trisomy: a new case associated with biliary atresia

Hereditas. 2007 Nov;144(5):191-4. doi: 10.1111/j.2007.0018-0661.02032.x.

Abstract

Herein we describe a unique case of partial proximal 10q trisomy presenting biliary atresia, anal anteposition and cardiac malformation. The 10q duplication was confirmed by G banding on prophase chromosomes. A review of the literature confirmed that the patient displayed characteristic dysmorphic features of the recently defined partial proximal trisomy 10q syndrome and emphasized the interindividual variability of visceral malformations.
