A 10-month-old female with developmental delay and failure to thrive was referred for genetic evaluation as part of an adoption assessment. Physical exam showed a mildly beaked nose and clinodactyly, but otherwise nothing remarkable. Chromosome analysis showed an inverted duplication of the p12.2{r_arrow}p13 portion of chromosome 7(46,XX,dup(7)(p13p12.2)). The proposita`s older brother, mother, and grandmother were cognitively delayed and had the same chromosome 7 duplication. A review of the literature showed no other cases involving this exact duplication. 5 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
