Though complete and mosaic tetraploidy in zygotes almost always leads to abortion early in pregnancy, some cases have been described in which development was more successful. We report a male neonate with microcephaly and various other anomalies, in whom tetraploidy was found in 16% of peripheral lymphocytes.
