Full trisomy 9 is mostly incompatible with postnatal survival, whereas mosaic trisomy 9 permits survival with highly variable clinical manifestations.

Prenatal ultrasound showed a single umbilical artery, lower abdominal cyst, borderline ventriculomegaly at 28\u00a0weeks, and late polyhydramnios. She was born at 40\u00a0weeks, 3,430\u00a0g, 49\u00a0cm, head circumference 36\u00a0cm, Apgar 8\/9\/9, requiring mild oxygen supplementation. At age 1\u00a0year, she exhibited dysmorphic facial features (prominent forehead, hypertelorism, upslanting palpebral fissures, short philtrum, low-set mildly dysplastic ears, retrognathia), bilateral ovarian cysts, minimal clinodactyly of the right fifth finger, palmar and plantar crease abnormalities, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), patent foramen ovale (PFO), previously closed muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD), severe hypotonia, global developmental delay, convergent strabismus, and feeding difficulties requiring gastrostomy. Cranial ultrasound revealed ventriculomegaly, grade II intraventricular hemorrhage, slightly thin corpus callosum, and altered posterior cranial fossa. Postnatal genetic evaluation, including array CGH (comparative genomic hybridization), conventional karyotyping, FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization), and QF-PCR (Quantitative Fluorescence Polymerase Chain Reaction), identified a complex mosaicism comprising three cell lines: 47,XX,+del(9)(q13)[60%]\/47,XX,+9[20%]\/46,XX[20%].<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case expands the phenotypic spectrum of chromosome 9 mosaicism and highlights the diagnostic value of multimodal genomic analysis for accurate detection and counselling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2026.1769931","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,6]],"date-time":"2026-04-06T22:10:16Z","timestamp":1775513416000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Rare triple-line chromosome 9 mosaicism (47,XX,+del(9)(q13)\/47,XX,+9\/46,XX) associated with severe neurodevelopmental impairment and congenital anomalies"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Andreja","family":"Zagorac","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Institute for Genetic Diagnostics, University Medical Centre Maribor","place":["Maribor, Slovenia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mirjana","family":"Miksi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perinatology, University Medical Centre Maribor","place":["Maribor, Slovenia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Boris","family":"Zagradi\u0161nik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Institute for Genetic Diagnostics, University Medical Centre Maribor","place":["Maribor, Slovenia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bojan","family":"Korpar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perinatology, University Medical Centre Maribor","place":["Maribor, Slovenia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nadja","family":"Kokalj Voka\u010d","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Institute for Genetic Diagnostics, University Medical Centre Maribor","place":["Maribor, Slovenia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"252","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.1320560303","article-title":"Trisomy 9: review and report of two new cases","volume":"56","author":"Arnold","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am.
