A sSMC can originate from any chromosome and it is estimated that 70% of sSMC are de novo, while 30% are inherited. Cases of sSMC derived from chromosome 5 (sSMC5) are rare, accounting for1.4% of all reported sSMC cases. In these patients, the most common reported features are macrocephaly, dysmorphic facial features, heart defects, growth retardation, hypotonia, and intellectual disability. Also sSMC derived from chromosome 8 are very rare and the phenotype of patients with sSMC8 is very variable. Common clinical features of the patients include developmental delay, mental retardation, intellectual disability, hypotonia, hypospadias, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), skeletal anomalies, dysmorphic facial features, and renal dysplasia. To the best of our knowledge, in literature there are no cases with coexistence of sSMC5 and sSMC8, so we reviewed the literature to compare cases with SMC5 and those with SMC8 separately. This study is aimed to highlight the unique findings of a patient with the coexistence of sSMC5 and sSMC8.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>We describe a female patient with two supernumerary markers derived from chromosome 5 (SMC5) and chromosome 8 (SMC8). The patient was born prematurely at 30 weeks with respiratory distress and bronchodysplasia. On physical examination she presented dysmorphic features, respiratory issues, congenital heart defect, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. The G-banded chromosome analysis on cultured lymphocytes revealed in all the analyzed cells a female karyotype with the presence of two supernumerary chromosomal markers and the array-CGH highlighted the region and the size of these two duplications. We also used the fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis (FISH) using painting of chromosomes 5 and 8 to confirm the origin of the two sSMC. So, the karyotype of the patient was: 48, XX, +mar1, +mar2.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This is the first case with two markers: one from chromosome 5 and one from chromosome 8.
