An 8-year-old boy presenting with hypotonia, moderate mental retardation, developmental delay, and psychomotor retardation is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain at age 3 years revealed a Dandy-Walker variant. Cytogenetic analysis of the peripheral blood revealed a derivative chromosome 12 with unknown additional material attached to the distal region of the long arm of chromosome 12. The parental karyotypes were normal. Spectral karyotyping (SKY) using the 24-color SKY probes and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using the specific 7p, 7q, 12p, and 12q telomeric probes confirmed a duplication of distal 7p and a deletion of terminal 12q. The karyotype of the proband was designated as 46,XY.ish der(12)t(7;12) (p21.2;q24. 33)(SKY+, 7pTEL+, 12qTEL-). The present case provides evidence for the association of partial trisomy 7p (7p21.2-->pter) and partial monosomy 12q (12q24.33-->qter) with a cerebellar malformation and the usefulness of SKY and FISH in the identification of a de novo aberrant chromosome resulting from an unbalanced translocation.
