Ultrasound examination of a 27-year-old primigravida at 26 weeks' gestation revealed fetal growth retardation, malformation of the ventricular septum, and a neck fold. Chromosome analysis of the amniotic fluid showed an abnormal 46,XY karyotype with an obvious metacentric chromosome 17. Chromosome analysis of the mother revealed a balanced t (17;22) (p13;q12) translocation. The fetus thus has a rare familial duplication 22q12----qter. Eight live-born and severely malformed infants with this duplication have been reported in the literature.
