De novo trisomy 20p characterized by array comparative genomic hybridization: Report of a novel case and review of the literature

We report on a boy with speech delay, mental retardation, motor clumsiness, hyperactivity, dysmorphic facial features, brachytelephalangy and short stature. Electrocardiogram, echocardiography, renal ultrasound, electroencephalogram, fundoscopic exam and auditory brainstem responses were all normal. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a left temporal arachnoid cyst and a small pineal gland cyst.
