Uniparental disomy (UPD) describes the inheritance of two homologous chromosomes from a single parent. Disease phenotypes associated with UPD and chromosomal imprinting rather than with mutations, include Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (paternal UPD11p), Angleman syndrome (paternal UPD15), Prader-Willi syndrome (maternal UPD 15). Prader-Wili syndrome (maternal UPD15) and transient nonatal diabetes (paternal UPD6). here we report on the first case of patrnal uniparental isodisomy of chromosome 14 with a mosaicism for a supernumerary marker chromsome 14. The patient demonsrtrated a small thorax with a coat hanger shape of the ribs kyphoscoliosis, hypoplasia of the maxilla and mandible, a broad nasal bridge with anteverted nares contractures of the wrists with unlar deviation bilaternally, diastasis recti, and makred muscle hypotonia. Vertical skin creases under the chin and stippled epiphyses of the humeri were features not previously described in patients with paternal UPD14. This case illustrates that as with the finding of an isochromosome, a supernumerary marker chromosome can be an imporant clue to the presence of UPD14. (c) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
