Cytogenetic Analysis of Down Syndrome

Cytogenetic analysis of 1284 cases of Down syndrome

Among 17786 karyotyres performed in our center,during 18 years (1357-1375),1300(7.3%) cases of chromosome 21 aberration,including 1284(98.77%) of Down syndrome have been detected.1191 of cases (92.76%) born free trisomy 21:61 cases (4.75%) revealed translocation and 32 cases (2.4%) showed mosaic pattern.among the pateints,59 had robertsonian translocation,2 had translocation between chromosome ...

Cytogenetic analysis of Down syndrome in Gujarat.

During 1995 to 2006, 382 cases clinically suspected for Down syndrome were investigated for cytogenetic study. Free trisomy 21 constituted 84.8% of cases, translocation 8.9%, mosaic 3.9% and in 2.4% cases regular T21 was associated with structural or numerical changes. Translocation was parentally inherited in 26.5% cases and maternal transmission was twice as common as paternal. Males were mor...

DOWN\'S SYNDROME: CYTOGENETIC STUDIES IN 150 CASES IN TEHRAN

Cytogenetic studies were performed on 150 cases of Down's syndrome (DS) in Iran. The standard trisomy 21 was found in 132 (88 % ) and translocation-trisomy 21 (+21) in 18 (12%) patients, i.e., t(21,21) in 1(0.63%) and mosaicism in 17(11.33%) cases. The comparison of the frequencies for mosaicism between different populations such as Denmark, Hungary, Egypt, Iraq, India, Australia and Iran ...

Cytogenetic and Neurobiological Advances in Down syndrome

Título: Avances Citogenéticos y Neurobiológicos en el Síndrome de Down. Resumen: El síndrome de Down es una alteración autosómica que, tradicionalmente, ha sido estudiada de forma independiente, desde ámbitos como la medicina, la biología o la psicología. En este artículo pretendemos ir más allá e incorporar una perspectiva multidisciplinar que contemple, por una parte, los principales hallazgo...
