Paracentric inversion of chromosome 9 with schizoaffective disorder

Clin Genet. 1997 Jan;51(1):69-70. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1997.tb02419.x.

Abstract

A 36-year-old man with schizoaffective disorder was found to have a de novo 46 XY inv (9) (q31.2q34.3). Phenotypical abnormalities are short stature, depressed nasal bridge, hypertelorism and slender shoulders. Paracentric inversion of chromosome 9 is a rare chromosome aberration. This case suggests a new candidate region related to schizoaffective disorder.
