Patient Perception of Negative Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing Results [PDF]
, 2016 Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) uses cell-free fetal DNA to assess for fetal aneuploidy during pregnancy. NIPT has higher detection rates and positive predictive values than previous methods; however, NIPT is not diagnostic. Studies suggest patients

Neurobiology of Disease, 2009 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

Aneuploidy facilitates dysplastic and tumorigenic phenotypes in the Drosophila gut
Biology Open, 2021 Aneuploidy has been strongly linked to cancer development, and published evidence has suggested that aneuploidy can have an oncogenic or a tumor suppressor role depending on the tissue context.

A systematic approach to cancer: evolution beyond selection. [PDF]
, 2017 Cancer is typically scrutinized as a pathological process characterized by chromosomal aberrations and clonal expansion subject to stochastic Darwinian selection within adaptive cellular ecosystems.

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2010 Aneuploidy refers to karyotypic abnormalities characterized by gain or loss of individual chromosomes. This condition is associated with disease and death in all organisms in which it has been studied. We have characterized the effects of aneuploidy on yeast and primary mouse cells and found it to be detrimental at the cellular level.

Selfish centromeres and the wastefulness of human reproduction.
PLoS Biology, 2022 Many human embryos die in utero owing to an excess or deficit of chromosomes, a phenomenon known as aneuploidy; this is largely a consequence of nondisjunction during maternal meiosis I.

Chromosomal Instability, Aneuploidy, and Gene Mutations in Human Sporadic Colorectal Adenomas
Cellular Oncology, 2004 Whether in vivo specific gene mutations lead to chromosomal instability (CIN) and aneuploidy or viceversa is so far not proven. We hypothesized that aneuploidy among human sporadic colorectal adenomas and KRAS2 and APC mutations were not independent ...

Molecular signatures of aneuploidy-driven adaptive evolution
Nature Communications, 2020 Aneuploidy (abnormal chromosome number) can enable rapid adaptation to stress conditions, but it also entails fitness costs from gene imbalance. Here, the authors experimentally evolve yeast while forcing maintenance of aneuploidy to identify the ...

Implementation of non-invasive prenatal testing by semiconductor sequencing in a genetic laboratory [PDF]
, 2016 Objectives: To implement non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for fetal aneuploidies with semiconductor sequencing in an academic cytogenomic laboratory and to evaluate the first 15-month experience on clinical samples.
