Dermatoglyphs and chromosome mosaicism in parents of children with trisomy 18.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parents of patients with Down's syndrome show dermatoglyphic features intermediate between the affected and the normal population. Dermatoglyphs were studied on the parents of 19 cases of trisomy 18, but no similar "intermediate" traits were discovered. The number of cases studied needs to be enlarged before it can definitely be stated that trisomies 18 and 21 differ in this respect.

We report an extremely rare case of Turner syndrome mosaicism in a 30-year-old woman. At least 100 metaphases were observed and analyzed through GTG banding with over 550 band resolutions observed. G-banded chromosome analysis revealed a mosaic female karyotype involving 3 different cell lines. One cell line (90% of the analyzed metaphases) presented monosomy X, while 6% of the cells showed tri...
متن کاملDifficulty in showing mosaicism in the mother of three mongols.
Parental mosaicism for trisomy-21 is a recognized reason for the birth of mongol children, and the possibility of parental mosaicism may be suspected especially in couples who produce more than one 'regular' mongol. However, in a recent review, Richards (1970) found only 11 documented instances of this occurrence. We wish to describe another woman in whom mosaicism was suspected clinically but ...
