What paper have you read recently?
Was analysing a prenatal which had a mosaic duplication of 1q and also an unusual pattern at the PAR2 region and had been called on the X.
Looked up on various sources including pubmed and a paper caught my eye about a der(Y)t(Y;1) x read the paper and the clinical manifestations matched my prenatal scan findings suspiciously well.
So to confirm this imbalance, we decided to try and culture and see if we could see it by cyto. We managed to see it & found a der(Y)!
