We report on a male patient with a de novo derivative chromosome 9. From clinical and conventional cytogenetic data, it was assumed that the derivative chromosome might be caused by a translocation between the short arms of chromosomes 7 and 9: der(9)t(7;9)(p21.2;p23.5). Fluorescence in situ hybridization with a chromosome 7-specific and a chromosome 9-specific paint confirmed this supposition. The phenotype of the patient described is compared to cases in the literature.
