Furthermore, a genomic mapping analysis was performed on 23 cases of terminal 19p13.3 duplication, combining our findings with those from previously reported cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results demonstrated that the maternal balanced translocation resulted in three offspring inheriting the 19p13.3 terminal duplication. The proband presented with typical clinical features such as intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, intellectual disability, developmental delay, and facial abnormalities, in addition to precocious puberty, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) features, and a shortened lingual frenulum. The precocious puberty phenotype is postulated to be associated with the KISS1R gene within the duplicated region. Genomic mapping identified a minimal overlapping region (MOR) of approximately 313 kb (chr19:3,223,850\u20133,536,224), encompassing four OMIM genes (CELF5, NFIC, DOHH, FZR1) and two protein-coding genes (SMIM24, SMIM44).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study clarifies the genetic mechanism of pure terminal 19p13.3 duplication in offspring resulting from a parental balanced translocation involving D\/G group chromosomes.
