Growth profiles of human autosomal trisomies at midgestation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Somatic and visceral growth profiles of midgestation human fetuses with trisomy 21, 18, or 13 demonstrate that each disorder has a characteristic pattern of growth aberration. The most striking deviations are short limbs in trisomy 21, subnormal adrenal and lung weights in trisomy 18, and supranormal spleen and kidney weights in trisomy 13.

Maternal Age-Specific Rates for Trisomy 21 and Common Autosomal Trisomies in Fetuses from a Single Diagnostic Center in Thailand
To provide maternal age-specific rates for trisomy 21 (T21) and common autosomal trisomies (including trisomies 21, 18 and 13) in fetuses. We retrospectively reviewed prenatal cytogenetic results obtained between 1990 and 2009 in Songklanagarind Hospital, a university teaching hospital, in southern Thailand. Maternal age-specific rates of T21 and common autosomal trisomies were established usin...
متن کاملOrigin and mechanisms of non-disjunction in human autosomal trisomies.
Chromosomal aneuploidy is one of the major causes of pregnancy wastage. In this review we summarize the knowledge about the origin and mechanisms of non-disjunction in human autosomal trisomies 8, 13, 15, 16, 18, and 21, accumulated during the last decade by using DNA polymorphism analysis. Maternal meiosis I non-disjunction is the most important single class, but chromosome-specific patterns e...
متن کاملTrisomy 13, 18, 21, Triploidy and Turner syndrome: the 5T’s. Look at the hands
First trimester spontaneous abortions occur in 15 to 20% of all clinically recognized pregnancies. Chromosomal -anomalies are responsible for more than 50% of spontaneous abortions. The majority (90%) of these chromosomal anomalies are numerical, particularly autosomal trisomies (involving chromosomes 13,16, 18, 21, 22), polyploidy and monosomy X. At birth chromosomal anomalies are still an imp...
متن کاملThe influence of whole-arm trisomy on gene expression in Drosophila.
The biochemical consequences of extensive aneuploidy in Drosophila have been examined by measuring the levels of specific proteins in larvae trisomic for entire chromosome arms. By far the most common effect is a reduction in gene product levels (per gene template) by one-third from the diploid quantity, consistent with the model that concentration-dependent repressors of these loci reside on t...
متن کاملMouse embryos with paternal duplication of an imprinted chromosome 7 region die at midgestation and lack placental spongiotrophoblast.
Imprinted genomic regions have been defined by the production of mice with uniparental inheritance or duplication of homologous chromosome regions. With most of the genome investigated, paternal duplication of only distal chromosomes 7 and 12 results in the lack of offspring, and prenatal lethality is presumed. Aberrant expression of imprinted genes in these two autosomal regions is therefore s...
