A 46,XYq 8-year-old male was referred for microcephaly, growth, and mental retardation, hypotonia, genital hypoplasia, and dysmorphisms. FISH analysis showed that the rearranged Y chromosome originated from an unbalanced translocation of Xq27.3-qter onto the deleted Yq11.22. Analysis of reported patients with disomy of region distal to Xq26 suggests that this rare anomaly, associated with failure to dosage compensate X-linked genes that are normally inactivated, when present in two copies, is causing a quite distinct phenotype. This imbalance is the aberrant by product of the recombinogenic pairing of the distal pseudoautosomal Xq-Yq region at male meiosis.

Objective: We present mosaic distal 9p deletion at prenatal diagnosis in a pregnancy associated with a favorable fetal outcome.
Case Report: A 34-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY, del(9)(p23)[8]/46,XY[17].

Objective: To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree affected with Spastic paraplegia type 5A (SPG5A).
Methods: A pedigree suspected for Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) at Henan Children's Hospital on August 15 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the pedigree was collected.

Kagami-Ogata syndrome and Temple syndrome are imprinting disorders caused by the abnormal expression of genes in an imprinted cluster on chromosome 14q32. Here, we report a female with mild features of the Kagami-Ogata syndrome phenotype with polyhydramnios, neonatal hypotonia, feeding difficulties, abnormal foot morphology, patent foramen ovale, distal arthrogryposis, normal facial profile, and a bell-shaped thorax without coat hanger ribs. The single nucleotide polymorphism array revealed the interstitial deletion of chromosome 14q32.

Distal vaginal atresia is a rare abnormality of female reproductive tract in which the vagina is closed or absent. The distal vagina may be replaced by fibrous tissue and the condition is often not diagnosed until a girl fails to begin having periods at puberty. Although it is a congenital disorder, potential genetic causes of distal vaginal atresia are still unknown.
