RESUMO
We report on a 16-month-old boy presenting with psychomotor retardation, craniofacial anomalies and severe vision deficit. Analysis of GTG-banded chromosomes showed that the patient had extra chromosomal material in the long arm of one chromosome 20. This chromosome aberration was further characterized with FISH using a chromosome 20 specific paint and band-specific probes. A partial trisomy 20q was shown to be present, the karyotype being 46, XY, dup (20) (q11.2q12). The cytogenetic and clinical findings are compared with cases previously reported in the literature.
