A male infant presenting with multiple anomalies including a midline cleft palate, anasarca, hepatomegaly, pulmonary edema, agenesis of the corpus collosum, and complex congential cardiac anomalies was found to have mosaicism for an additional chromosome that appeared (following GTG-banding and FISH) to be a monocentric isochromosome of the short arm of chromosome 8 (46,XY/47,XY, +i(8p)). Nine other cases of mosaicism for an additional i(8p) were reviewed. Considerable phenotypic variation was noted. Consistent features were identified including agenesis of the corpus callosum, cardiac malformations, and minor facial dysmorphology. The phenotype of these patients partially overlaps those of trisomy 8 and trisomy 8p. By studying additional individuals with this condition, mosaic tetrasomy 8p may emerge as a recognizable clinical phenotype.
