Background: Segmental duplication of the long arm of chromosome 14 (14q) has commonly been reported to affect the proximal segment of 14q, while distal duplication is a rare condition and often associated with segmental monosomy of other chromosomes. Case presentation: We report the clinical and genetic characterization of a 4-year-old male patient with 14q32.3-qter trisomy resulting from an adjacent segregation of a paternal reciprocal translocation (14;21)(q32.1;p12). The child shows minor facial anomalies, severe developmental delay, growth retardation, and a history of congenital hypothyroidism and neonatal transitory hyperglycemic crises. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, only 15 other cases of segmental 14q trisomy were documented. We compared molecularly defined cases to identify a minimal common duplicated region and to find genes with a hypothetical role in the phenotype. The presented case supports the previous suggestion of a pure "distal 14q partial duplication" and underlines the clinical variability.
