False Negative NIPT Results: Risk Figures for Chromosomes 13, 18 and 21 Based on Chorionic Villi Results in 5967 Cases and Literature Review. [PDF]
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) demonstrated a small chance for a false negative result. Since the "fetal" DNA in maternal blood originates from the cytotrophoblast of chorionic villi (CV), some false negative results will have a biological origin ...

Monozygotic twins discordant for trisomy 21: Discussion of etiological events involved
Objective: To elucidate the etiologies of discordant trisomy 21 in monozygotic twin pregnancy. Case report: A monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with hydrops and cleft lip (twin 1) found in one fetus presented at gestational age of 17 weeks ...

A chromosome 21-specific cosmid cocktail for the detection of chromosome 21 aberrations in interphase nuclei [PDF]
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with a 21q11-specific probe (CB21c1) consisting of three non-overlapping cosmids has been applied to interphase amniocytes of pregnancies at increased risk for fetal aneuploidy (N = 78) and to interphase ...

Mosaic Down syndrome and acute lymphoblastic B cell-leukemia. Case report
Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is a constitutional chromosomal abnormality, which may be mosaic in 1 % to 4 % of cases. DS mosaic diagnosis is difficult because most patients have a normal phenotype and show no significant clinical abnormalities ...

Errors in chromosome segregation during oogenesis and early embryogenesis [PDF]
Errors in chromosome segregation occurring during human oogenesis and early embryogenesis are very common. Meiotic chromosome development during oogenesis is subdivided into three distinct phases.
