Duplication 20p or partial trisomy 20 is a rare chromosomal anomaly characterized by duplication of the short arm of chromosome 20, with various clinical abnormalities. Despite complete trisomy 20, which usually leads to prenatal death, partial trisomy 20 can manifest with variable phenotypes, from mild to severe manifestations. Here, we present a rare case of an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with trisomy 20, epilepsy with focal seizures of genetic origin, craniosynostosis, type 1 diabetes, and autism spectrum disorder. Duplication 20p is a complex diagnostic and presents a therapeutic challenge due to its diverse clinical manifestations. To succeed in the intricacy of such a unique and challenging case, a comprehensive clinical and genetic assessment must be performed.
20号染色体短臂重复或部分三体20是一种罕见的染色体异常,其特征为20号染色体短臂重复,并伴有各种临床异常表现。尽管完整的20号染色体三体通常会导致胎儿期死亡,但部分三体20可表现出从轻度到重度的各种不同表型。在此,我们报告一例罕见病例,一名8岁男孩被诊断为三体20、遗传性局灶性癫痫发作、颅缝早闭、1型糖尿病和自闭症谱系障碍。20号染色体短臂重复是一个复杂的诊断问题,因其临床表现多样,在治疗上也具有挑战性。要成功处理这样一个独特且具有挑战性病例的复杂性,必须进行全面的临床和基因评估。
