Abstract Quantitative risk assessments of chemicals are routinely performed using in vivo data from rodents; however, there is growing recognition that non‐animal approaches can be human‐relevant alternatives. There is an urgent need to build confidence in non‐animal alternatives given the international support to reduce the use of animals in toxicity ...

Embryo aneuploidy and ivf outcomes in patients with different spermatozoa aneuploidy rates
Our goal was to study the 13, 18, 21, X, Y chromosomes aneuploidy rate in the embryos of the couples with different spermatozoa aneuploidy rate.In prospective cohort study 56 infertile couples were divided into 3 groups by the spermatozoa aneuploidy rate

Aneuploidy in Early Miscarriage and its Related Factors
Background: Genetic factors are the main cause of early miscarriage. This study aimed to investigate aneuploidy in spontaneous abortion by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using probes for 13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X and Y chromosomes.

Abstract In human health risk assessment of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, identification of genotoxicity hazard usually starts with a standard battery of in vitro genotoxicity tests, which is needed to cover all genotoxicity endpoints. The individual tests included in the battery are not designed to pick up all endpoints.

Clinician views and experiences of non‐invasive prenatal genetic screening tests in Australia
Background Non‐invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) is being increasingly used by expectant parents. Much provision of this test in Australia is occurring in clinical settings where specialised genetic counselling is unavailable, such as general practice.

Recently it has been suggested that the human brain contains aneuploid cells; however the nature and magnitude of neural aneuploidy in health and disease remain obscure. Here, we have monitored aneuploidy in the cerebral cortex of the normal, Alzheimer's

Machine Learning Reveals Aneuploidy Characteristics in Cancers: The Impact of BEX4
Background: Aneuploidy is crucial yet under-explored in cancer pathogenesis. Specifically, the involvement of brain expressed X-linked gene 4 (BEX4) in microtubule formation has been identified as a potential aneuploidy mechanism ...

What's New? While estrogens, obesity, and alcohol are recognized risk factors for breast cancer, a viral hypothesis has been suggested based on the murine model of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV)‐induced mammary tumors. This study analyzed sequences of the human homolog of MMTV across human breast carcinoma histotypes, detecting the virus in all types

Preventing common hereditary disorders through time-separated twinning [PDF]
Biomedical advances have led to a relaxation of natural selection in the human population in developed countries. In the absence of strong purifying selection, spontaneous and frequently deleterious mutations tend to accumulate in the human genome and gradually increase the genetic load; that is, the frequency of potentially lethal genes in the gene ...

Accuracy of ultrasound estimation of fetal weight in twin pregnancy
Abstract Objective To determine the accuracy of formulas for estimation of fetal weight in twin pregnancy. Methods Inclusion criteria from the ESPRiT twin cohort were twin pregnancies that resulted in live‐born twins without congenital anomalies or twin‐twin transfusion syndrome, ultrasound examination within 3 days of delivery, birth weight (BW) > 500
