Trisomy 1q is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, resulting from the partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 1, with a highly variable phenotype principally characterized by intellectual disability, short stature, craniofacial dysmorphism (incl. macro/microcephaly, prominent forehead, posteriorly rotated, low-set ears, abnormal palpebral fissures, microphthalmia, broad, flat nasal bridge, high-arched palate, micro/retrognathia), cardiac defects and urogenital anomalies. Patients may also present cerebral (e.g. ventriculomegaly) and gastrointestinal malformations, as well as dystonic tremor and recurrent respiratory tract infections.
The child had the majority of trisomy 1q clinical features: dysmorphic features, micropthalmia, high arched palate, long philthrum, micrognathia, hypertelorism, low set ears, short sternum, overlapping fingers, valgus of wrists, right knee and ankle joints were in flexion contractures.
