15% of recognized pregnancies end in
spontaneous fetal loss, 80% of which occur
during the ____trimester (first 3 months)
first
45,X (Turner Syndrome)
Trisomy 16
INDICATIONS FOR __________ CYTOGENETICS:
1. Screening for maternal age-related risk
2. Family history of previous child with
chromosomal abnormalities
3. Abnormal levels of AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein)
in a screening test
PRENATAL
are indications for _________ cytogenetics
prenatal
Karyotype analysis on both biological parents is used
to differentiate between an inherited rearrangement
and a ?
“de novo” anomaly in the child
This pose less risk for
related impairment than “de novo” inheritance but
may recur in future pregnancies
Inherited rearrangement
Approximately 0.6% - 1% if all newborns have
gross chromosomal abnormality
___________ cytogenetics
postnatal cytogenetics
INDICATIONS FOR __________ CYTOGENETICS:
1. Presence of multiple congenital anomalies
2. Suspected aneuploidy (e.g: features of
Down Syndrome)
POSTNATAL
● Some genetic disorders manifest in later life
● One of the most difficult diagnostic problem such
that other than cytogenetic studies, molecular
biochemical studies may be needed
____________CYTOGENETICS
CHILDHOOD AND ADULT CYTOGENETICS
INDICATIONS FOR ______________
CYTOGENETICS
1. Unexplained mental retardation or
developmental delay
2. Suspected unbalanced autosome (ex:
Prader-Willi syndrome)
3. Suspected sex chromosomal abnormality
(ex: Turner syndrome)
