A de novo tetrasomy 15 has been reported, in a 6 years old child. The patient had severe mental retardation an minimal physical stigmata, consisting in slight skeletal and facial dismorphism. Cytogenetic analysis showed that extrachromosome, G-like long, was bisatellited and dicentric and was interpreted either as an inversion duplication 15 or as 15; G or D translocation.
