There are many reports in the literature of deletions of the p arm of chromosome 17 in the region of p13.3 due to the association with Miller-Dieker Syndrome. However, very little is known about duplications of 17p. We report a duplication of part of 17p in an 8-year-old girl with attention deficit disorder and mild mental retardation. Cytogenetically, the duplicated region appears to include 17p13.1 to p13.3. FISH with a cosmid probe to the Miller-Dieker region at 17p13.3 shows a double hybridization signal, confirming that the duplicated material does indeed include 17q13.3.
