Partial trisomy 11q is a rare syndrome and may be observed due to an intra-chromosomal duplication or an inter-chromosomal insertion. The deletions of the short arm of chromosome 12 are also uncommon structural aberrations. Only a small fraction of structural chromosome anomalies are related to the unbalanced progeny of balanced translocation carrier parents. We here report on a 10-month-old baby boy who shows a very mild phenotype related to unique chromosomal abnormality, partial trisomy of 11q, and partial monosomy of 12p, due to the maternal balanced reciprocal translocation (11;12). The proband showed a 49.64Mb duplication of 11q14.1-q25 and 0.44Mb deletion of 12p13.33 in chromosomal array analysis. Since it is known that the duplications may cause a milder phenotype than deletions. Dysmorphic facial features, minor cardiac anomalies, respiratory distress, central nervous system anomalies, and psychomotor delay observed in the patient was similar to the reported pure 11q duplication cases, while behavioral problems observed in pure monosomy 12p cases could not be evaluated due to the young age of the patient. Phenotype-genotype correlation will be discussed in view of all the reported pure partial 11q trisomies and pure partial 12p deletion cases. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
