Partial Trisomy 13q/Monosomy 3p Resulting from a Paternal Reciprocal 3p;13q Translocation in a Boy with Facial Dysmorphism and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Individuals with 3p deletion show a great clinical variability. Apparently, a 1.5-Mb terminal deletion, including the CRBN and CNTN4 genes, is sufficient to cause this syndrome. Partial trisomy 13q is a rare chromosomal abnormality with a variable phenotypic expression, but in most cases, patients have a phenotype resembling complete trisomy 13. The aim of the present study is to describe a 9-month-old Mexican male patient with 3p deletion/13q duplication and a novel clinical finding. He presented with facial dysmorphism and multiple congenital alterations. Echocardiogram revealed cardiac insufficiency with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension, not previously reported. Karyotype from the patient and his father were 46,XY,add(3)(p26) and 46,XY,t(3;13), respec
