Objective: We present low-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with a favorable fetal outcome. Case report: A 34-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age ...

Morphological Integration of Soft-Tissue Facial Morphology in Down Syndrome and Siblings [PDF]
Down syndrome (DS), resulting from trisomy of chromosome 21, is the most common live-born human aneuploidy. The phenotypic expression of trisomy 21 produces variable, though characteristic, facial morphology.

Maternal cell-free DNA-based screening for fetal microdeletion and the importance of careful diagnostic follow-up. [PDF]
BackgroundNoninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) by next-generation sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal plasma is used to screen for common aneuploidies such as trisomy 21 in high risk pregnancies.

Isolated Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery and Trisomy 21 Case
Abnormal right subclavian artery (ARSA) is the most common anomaly of the aortic arch with a rate of 0.5-1.4%. Normally, three vessels arises from the aortic arch, while four vessels arise in ARSA.

Distribution of chromosome 18 and X centric heterochromatin in the interphase nucleus of cultured human cells [PDF]
In situ hybridization of human chromosome 18 and X-specific alphoid DNA-probes was performed in combination with three dimensional (3D) and two dimensional (2D) image analysis to study the interphase distribution of the centric heterochromatin (18c and ...

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 ...

DNA hydroxymethylation levels are altered in blood cells from Down syndrome persons enrolled in the MARK-AGE project [PDF]
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by the presence of part or an entire extra copy of chromosome 21, a phenomenon that can cause a wide spectrum of clinically defined phenotypes of the disease. Most of the clinical signs of DS are typical of the ageing process

A new mutation in the promoter region of the PAX8 gene causes true congenital hypothyroidism with thyroid hypoplasia in a girl with Down's syndrome [PDF]
<b>Background:</b> Thyroid dysfunction is common in newborn infants with Down's syndrome (DS), but defects causing classic thyroid dysgenesis (TD) with permanent congenital hypothyroidism (CH) have not been described.<p></p> ...

Probiotic-associated aspiration pneumonia due to Lactobacillus rhamnosus [PDF]
Lactobacilli are low-virulence, commensal organisms of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts and are commonly used as “probiotic supplements.” Herein, we describe an episode of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis with bacterial ...
