Partial trisomy 3p results from either unbalanced translocation or de novo duplication. Common clinical features consistof dysmorphic facial features, congenital heart defects, psychomotor and mental retardation, abnormal muscle tone andhypoplastic genitalia. In this paper, we report a case of partial trisomy 3p with rare clinical manifestations.
