Novel Co‐Occurrence of Trisomy 21 and Heterozygous CFTR Mutation [PDF]
The coexistence of trisomy 21 and cystic fibrosis (CF) is extremely rare, with fewer than 10 reported cases, all involving homozygous CFTR mutations. However, the impact of a heterozygous CFTR mutation in a patient with trisomy 21 remains unexplored.

Treatment of iliac arteriovenous malformation associated with trisomy 21: a case report [PDF]
Both arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and trisomy 21 are rare diseases. Studies have shown that individuals with trisomy 21 may have potential vascular malformations, with the main site of onset being the portal system.

A neonate with a unique non-Down syndrome transient proliferative megakaryoblastic disease [PDF]
Transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) is a leukemia type that occurs typically in newborns. In Down syndrome, TMD is referred to as transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM).32 Recently, transientness has also been reported in acute myeloid leukemia ...
