Summary

Two unrelated patients were found to be mosaic for an extra chromosome 9 (46,XX/47,XX,+9). The first patient showed a prominent nose, deep set eyes, carp shaped mouth and complex congenital cardiac anomalies. She died of congestive cardiac failure at the age of 10 days. The second patient, was a 7 1/2 year old female who had persistent alacrimia and mental retardation.
