  • Whole Chromosome Gain Does Not in Itself Confer Cancer-Like Chromosomal Instability
    Whole chromosome gain does not in itself confer cancer-like chromosomal instability Anders Valinda,1, Yuesheng Jina, Bo Baldetorpb, and David Gisselssona aDepartment of Clinical Genetics, Lund University, University and Regional Laboratories, Biomedical Center B13, Lund SE22184, Sweden; and bDepartment of Oncology, Lund University, Skåne University Hospital, Lund SE22185, Sweden Edited* by George Klein, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, and approved November 4, 2013 (received for review June 12, 2013) Constitutional aneuploidy is typically caused by a single-event and chromosomal instability in humans is using constitutional meiotic or early mitotic error. In contrast, somatic aneuploidy, aneuploidy syndromes as a model. Cells from patients with these found mainly in neoplastic tissue, is attributed to continuous syndromes provide a good experimental system for studying the chromosomal instability. More debated as a cause of aneuploidy effects of aneuploidy on overall genome stability on representative is aneuploidy itself; that is, whether aneuploidy per se causes human material. Such cells typically only have a single or a limited chromosomal instability, for example, in patients with inborn set of stem-line chromosome aberrations compared with tumor aneuploidy. We have addressed this issue by quantifying the level cell lines, which typically harbor a multitude of genetic lesions, as of somatic mosaicism, a proxy marker of chromosomal instability, well as a cancer phenotype.

  • 95 Birth Defects Exec Summ
    Executive Summary In 1995, 865 cases of birth defects were detected among live born infants and fetuses of 20 or more weeks gestation delivered to mothers residing in Texas Public Health Regions 6 and 11 (Houston/Galveston region and Lower Rio Grande Valley). In this first full year of the Registry, surveillance was limited to approximately 23 major categories of birth defects, comprising 30 to 40 percent of all known structural malformations. Down syndrome, oral clefts, and spina bifida were the most common birth defects, although some major structural malformations were not yet monitored in 1995. Age Patterns: Both trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) demonstrated an age-specific rate pattern that was J-shaped, with the highest birth prevalence (“rates”) observed among mothers 35 years of age and older. Gastroschisis, a malformation of the abdominal wall, exhibited highest rates among the youngest mothers and decreased with each older age group. Racial/Ethnic Patterns: Anencephaly and spina bifida were lowest among African Americans; however, rates were similar in whites and Hispanics. Among the heart defects, relatively high rates of tetralogy of Fallot were observed among African Americans, although they exhibited relatively low rates of hypoplastic left heart. Cleft palate alone was more likely to occur among whites and Hispanics. Rates of trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) were highest among African Americans and whites. Gender Patterns: With regard to sex, higher rates were documented among females for anencephaly, and to a lesser extent, spina bifida. Females experienced two-fold higher rates of trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome). Males had higher rates of cleft lip with or without cleft palate.

  • Application of Neural Networks for Classification of Patau, Edwards
    Catic et al. BMC Medical Genomics (2018) 11:19 DOI 10.1186/s12920-018-0333-2 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Application of Neural Networks for classification of Patau, Edwards, Down, Turner and Klinefelter Syndrome based on first trimester maternal serum screening data, ultrasonographic findings and patient demographics Aida Catic1,2* , Lejla Gurbeta1,4, Amina Kurtovic-Kozaric1,3, Senad Mehmedbasic2 and Almir Badnjevic1,4,5,6 Abstract Background: The usage of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for genome-enabled classifications and establishing genome-phenotype correlations have been investigated more extensively over the past few years. The reason for this is that ANNs are good approximates of complex functions, so classification can be performed without the need for explicitly defined input-output model. This engineering tool can be applied for optimization of existing methods for disease/syndrome classification. Cytogenetic and molecular analyses are the most frequent tests used in prenatal diagnostic for the early detection of Turner, Klinefelter, Patau, Edwards and Down syndrome. These procedures can be lengthy, repetitive; and often employ invasive techniques so a robust automated method for classifying and reporting prenatal diagnostics would greatly help the clinicians with their routine work. Methods: The database consisted of data collected from 2500 pregnant woman that came to the Institute of Gynecology, Infertility and Perinatology “Mehmedbasic” for routine antenatal care between January 2000 and December 2016. During first trimester all women were subject to screening test where values of maternal serum pregnancy- associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and free beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) were measured. Also, fetal nuchal translucency thickness and the presence or absence of the nasal bone was observed using ultrasound.

  • Double Aneuploidy in Down Syndrome
    Chapter 6 Double Aneuploidy in Down Syndrome Fatma Soylemez Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/60438 Abstract Aneuploidy is the second most important category of chromosome mutations relat‐ ing to abnormal chromosome number. It generally arises by nondisjunction at ei‐ ther the first or second meiotic division. However, the existence of two chromosomal abnormalities involving both autosomal and sex chromosomes in the same individual is relatively a rare phenomenon. The underlying mechanism in‐ volved in the formation of double aneuploidy is not well understood. Parental ori‐ gin is studied only in a small number of cases and both nondisjunctions occurring in a single parent is an extremely rare event. This chapter reviews the characteristics of double aneuploidies in Down syndrome have been discussed in the light of the published reports. Keywords: Double aneuploidy, Down Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome, Chromo‐ some abnormalities 1. Introduction With the discovery in 1956 that the correct chromosome number in humans is 46, the new area of clinical cytogenetic began its rapid growth. Several major chromosomal syndromes with altered numbers of chromosomes were reported, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Turner syndrome (45,X) and Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY). Since then it has been well established that chromosome abnormalities contribute significantly to genetic disease resulting in reproductive loss, infertility, stillbirths, congenital anomalies, abnormal sexual development, mental retardation and pathogenesis of malignancy [1].

    SYLLABUS ❑Down’s Syndrome, ❑Inborn errors of metabolism: ❑Turner’s syndrome, phenylketonuria,albinism,galactosemia ❑Kleinfelter’s syndrome, ❑Genetic counseling ❑Edwards syndrome, DOWN SYNDROME • Down syndrome (sometimes called Down’s syndrome) is a condition in which a child is born with an extra copy of their 21st chromosome —hence its other name, trisomy 21. This causes physical and mental developmental delays and disabilities DOWN SYNDROME Causes • In all cases of reproduction, both parents pass their genes on to their children. These genes are carried in chromosomes. • When the baby’s cells develop, each cell is supposed to receive 23 pairs of chromosomes, for 46 chromosomes total. Half of the chromosomes are from the mother, and half are from the father. • In children with Down syndrome, one of the chromosomes doesn’t separate properly. The baby ends up with three copies, or an extra partial copy, of chromosome 21, instead of two. This extra chromosome causes problems as the brain and physical features develop. Types Trisomy 21 • Trisomy 21 means there’s an extra copy of chromosome 21 in every cell. • This is the most common form of Down syndrome. Mosaicism • Mosaicism occurs when a child is born with an extra chromosome in some but not all of their cells. • People with mosaic Down syndrome tend to have fewer symptoms than those with trisomy 21. Translocation • In this type of Down syndrome, children have only an extra part of chromosome 21. There are 46 total chromosomes. However, one of them has an extra piece of chromosome 21 attached. risk factors • . According to the Centers for Disease and Prevention, mothers aged 35 and older are more likely to have a baby with Down syndrome than younger mothers.

Initially submitted June 30, 2011; accepted for publication November 22, 2011. Downloaded from Birth defects may influence the risk of childhood cancer development through a variety of mechanisms. The rarity of both birth defects and childhood cancers makes it challenging to study these associations, particularly for the very rare instances of each. To address this limitation, the authors conducted a record linkage-based cohort study http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/ among Texas children born between 1996 and 2005. Birth defects in the cohort were identified through the Texas Birth Defects Registry, and children who developed cancer were identified by using record linkage with Texas Cancer Registry data. Over 3 million birth records were included; 115,686 subjects had birth defects, and there were 2,351 cancer cases. Overall, children with a birth defect had a 3-fold increased risk of developing cancer (incidence rate ratio (IRR) ¼ 3.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.65, 3.50), with germ cell tumors (IRR ¼ 5.19, 95% CI: 2.67, 9.41), retinoblastomas (IRR ¼ 2.34, 95% CI: 1.21, 4.16), soft-tissue sarcomas (IRR ¼ 2.12, 95% CI: 1.09, 3.79), and leukemias (IRR ¼ 1.39, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.75) having statistically significant elevated point estimates.
