RESUMO
We report on a new case of a single band duplication of the long arm of chromosome 7, dir dup (7)(q36----qter). The major manifestations are developmental delay (particularly speech), frontal bossing, macrocrania, and constant drooling. When compared with other cases involving a 7q duplication of various segments, our patient has a few minor anomalies. This case illustrates the genotype/phenotype correlation in a child with a single band duplication which has resulted in duplication of 7q36----qter. A tabulation of reported cases with duplication of various segments of 7q is provided, which may serve as an aid for clinicians.
