Abstract
Limitation of current techniques in identifying extra chromosomal segments arising de novo is illustrated by a putative case of a duplication of the long arm of chromosome 7. The propositus, demonstrating multiple congenital anomalies and severe mental retardation, had a large extra segment of chromatin on chromosome 7q that was absent in his parents. The banding pattern of this segment resembled that of the long arm of chromosomes 7, 8, or 9. The additional material did not include the secondary constriction of 9q. The phenotype of the propositus did not fit well with that of trisomy 8.
