Intellectual disability in two Chinese sisters caused by a 3p26.3p25.3 microdeletion and a 14q32.13q32.33 microduplication inherited from the mother with 46, XX, t (3, 14) (p25; q32).

The affected siblings have similar phenotype, including ID, short stature, and microcephaly. Their mother had a history of seven first-trimester miscarriages and one elective termination because of multiple malformations. This abnormal karyotype was also thought to be responsible for the mother's recurrent miscarriage. WES in combination with CNV-seq analysis is very helpful for identification of the genetic causes of ID without positive karyotype findings.
