Follow-up of a patient with partial trisomy 9p and partial monosomy 8p; description of physical and psychosocial development.

A patient is described with partial trisomy 9p and partial monosomy 8p due to a maternal translocation (t(8;9)(p23;p13)). The clinical phenotype is compatible with the partial trisomy 9p syndrome. This is a clinically recognizable syndrome with mental retardation as a constant feature. Little is known about the outcome and level of functioning of patients with this condition. We present the follow-up of a patient with partial trisomy 9p who has been regularly examined from birth until age 10 years.

[A family with hereditary spherocytosis discovered after an infection with human parvovirus B19].

Hereditary spherocytosis was diagnosed in five of six children in one family after a human parvovirus B19 (B19-virus) infection. The diagnosis was made on the basis of severe anaemia, demonstrable haemolysis, decreased osmotic fragility and an increased number of spherocytes. Since in the serum of the patients an increased level of IgG and IgM antibodies against B19 virus was detectable two weeks after the crisis it was concluded that the B19-virus infection caused the severe anaemia.
