Mosaic trisomy 9

Mosaic trisomy 9 is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, with a highly variable phenotype, principally characterized by intellectual disability, growth and developmental delay, facial dysmorphism (incl. microphthalmia, deep-set eyes, low-set, malformed ears, bulbous nose, high-arched palate, micrognathia) and congenital heart defects (e.g. ventricular septal defect), as well as urogenital (e.g. hypoplastic genitalia, cryptorchidism), skeletal (congenital joint dislocations or hyperflexion, scoliosis/kyphosis) and central nervous system anomalies (hydrocephalus, Dandy-Walker malformation). Pigmentary mosaic skin lesions along the lines of Blaschko are also frequently observed.

Telecanthus

Distance between the inner canthi more than two standard deviations above the mean (objective); or, apparently increased distance between the inner canthi.

Except for deeply-set eyes and small palpebral fissures with slight telecanthus, our ocular findings have not previously been described in mosaic trisomy 9.
