A white male born with dysmorphic features, including upslanting palpebral fissures, bilateral simian creases, posteriorly rotated ears, bitemporal narrowing, frontal bossing, camptodactyly and head circumference and weight less than the 5th percentile was found to have a de novo add(10)(q26.1). High resolution karyotype analysis revealed a novel chromosomal abnormality: 46,XY,inv dup(10)(q26.3-q25.1). Fluorescent in situ hybridization using a chromosome 10-specific painting probe (Oncor, Inc.) confirmed that the extra material was derived from chromosome 10. Duplication of 10q24 or 10q25 is associated with characteristic craniofacial malformations, minor malformations of the hands and feet, major malformations of the heart, skeleton, and kidneys and severe mental retardation. Our patient, currently 7 months old, has many of the skeletal and craniofacial manifestations of other patients, but is developmentally normal at this early age. This is the first FISH confirmation of a 10q duplication and demonstrates the utility of this technology in addition to karyotype analysis. Molecular studies to determine the parental origin and extent of the duplication are in progress, since the apparent lack of developmental delay was unexpected. Identification of the origin of duplicated material will help assist in genetic counseling by further delineating new genetic syndromes.
