Summary

For the identification of an extra chromosome in a female child a number of recently developed staining techniques were used.

The extra element found in 86% of the patient's peripheral lymphocytes resembles an isochromosome for the short arm of chromosome No. 9, in which case a tetrasomy for this arm would exist. The clinical findings in our patient were compared with those in patients reported to have extra chromosome 9 material.
