Chromosome 14 is often involved in chromosome rearrangements, although pericentric inversions are rare. Here we report a mother carrying a pericentric inversion of chromosome 14, and her daughter with recombinant chromosome characterized by a partial distal 14q trisomy. Principal clinical findings of the child include facial anomalies, microcephaly, developmental delay, hypotonia and cardiac malformation. Her final karyotype was 46,XX,rec(14)dup(14q)inv(14)(p12q31)mat[20], arr 14q31.3qter(85,427,839–106,356,482)x3. This report brings new data about clinical features of partial 14q trisomy and molecular analysis enables the visualization of genes involved in the segment duplicated.
