9p deletion and distal 9q duplication due to a paternal pericentric inversion 9(p22q32).

A female infant with 46,XX,rec(9), dup q,inv(9)(p22q32)pat is presented. She had a duplication from 9q32 to qter and a deletion from 9p22 to 9pter. Phenotypical abnormalities observed corresponded with features noted in cases with distal dup (9q), while pathognomonic features of del(9p) syndrome were not observed.
