Figure 1

Prenatal genetic analysis reported additional cases of tetrasomy 9p. (A) Fetal karyotype analysis revealed two normal chromosomes 9 and additional i(9p). (B) Fluorescent in situ hybridization using Vysis (Abbott Laboratories) probes: TelVyson 9p SG and TelVyson 9q SO and Vysis CEP 9 SAq. Isochromosome 9p is marked with an arrow. (C) Microarray analysis, revealing four copies of 9p.
