Trisomy for the short arm of chromosome 18 or trisomy 18p, is rarely described. We report on a 13-year-old boy with minor facial anomalies, mental retardation, bilateral cryptorchidism associated with a de novo supernumeary marker chromosome (SMC). Using fluorescence in situ hybridization and comparative genomic hydridization analyses, this SMC corresponded to the p arm of chromosome 18 associated with a centromere of either chromosome 13 or 21 and nucleolus organizing regions (NORs). We report here the first case of a pure and complete trisomy 18p (due to a SMC. This report and review of literature confirm that the main phenotypic anomaly associated with trisomy 18p is moderate mental retardation. (c) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
