Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand.

We report on a 5-year-old boy with failure to thrive, mental retardation, a broad nose, hypertelorism, slight antimongoloid slant palpebral fissures, mild ptosis, microphthalmia, short and wide neck, apparently acyanotic tetralogy of Fallot, dislocation of the left hip, generalized linear and patchy hyperpigmentation, micropenis, and undescended testes. He had mosaicism of 46,XY/47,XY, + 14 in a ratio of 3:1. Comparisons are made with the other reports of trisomy 14 mosaicism and relationship to incontinentia pigmenti.

D009030	Mosaicism	The occurrence in an individual of two or more cell populations of different chromosomal constitutions, derived from a single ZYGOTE, as opposed to CHIMERISM in which the different cell populations are derived from more than one zygote.

D002871	Chromosome Banding	Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.
