[Genetic studies in patients with trisomy 21 with special evaluation of morphology and pathogenesis in the orofacial region. Condition of periodontal and oral hygiene in trisomy 21].

The incidence and severity of parodontopathies and results of studies of the level of oral hygiene are reported, in terms of both subjective and objective parameters, for children and juveniles affected with trisomy 21. Also discussed are problems of age and sex dependence; causal, complementary, and reciprocal relationships; and possibilities of prophylaxis.

Analysis of prenatal diagnosis and pregnancy outcomes for rare autosomal trisomies detected by non-invasive prenatal testing in 33,079 cases.

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive prenatal testing is widely used for screening common fetal aneuploidy disorders such as trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. However, its ability to detect rare autosomal trisomies has introduced a new layer of complexity and clinical uncertainty. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the prenatal diagnostic results and pregnancy outcomes of cases identified as high-risk for rare autosomal trisomies through non-invasive prenatal testing at the reproductive medicine center, Renmin hospital, Hubei university of medicine, from 2015 to 2023. RESULTS: 66 cases identified as high-risk for rare autosomeal trisomies, yielding a detection rate of 0.20% (66/33,079). 7 declined amniocentesis, while the others underwent the procedure. Prenatal diagnostic procedures did not confirm the presence of the corresponding rare autosomal trisomy in any of these cases. Among the 66 cases of rare autosomal trisomies (RATs), 5 cases were lost to follow-up, and 1 case underwent termination of pregnancy (TOP) for personal reasons, leaving 60 cases with valid pregnancy outcomes. Of these 60 valid outcomes, 50 (83.33%) resulted in full-term births, while 10 (16.67%) experienced adverse pregnancy outcomes. CONCLUSION: Prenatal diagnosis for high-risk rare autosomal trisomies typically reveals a normal karyotype with no detectable chromosomal abnormalities, and most cases can achieve full-term pregnancy outcomes. However, adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth, fetal demise, placental abnormalities, and intrauterine growth restriction are common and should be given clinical attention and consideration.

[Neonatal thrombocyte values in children with Down's syndrome and other autosome trisomies].

Platelet counts were determined in 70 neonates with trisomy-21, 10 neonates with trisomy-18 and 6 neonates with trisomy-13 during the first days of life. 60% of all infants with trisomy-aberrations were found to have thrombocytopenia. Platelet counts in Down's syndrome averaged 104600 (SD 53000; median 90500; 10- and 90-percentile at 45000 and 175000) per microliter. A correlation with other hematological features of trisomy-21 was examined. There was no significant correlation between platelet counts and hemoglobin concentration. Similarly the difference in platelet counts between trisomy-neonates with and without polycythemia was statistically not significant. In contrast, 27 normal neonates with polycythemia showed significantly higher platelet counts (mean = 13400) than their trisomy-counterparts (mean = 98900; P = 0.01). In addition, there was no correlation, in trisomy infants, between either erythroblastosis or low birth weight and platelet count. These findings point to defective hematopoiesis as a primary cause of thrombocytopenia in trisomy-infants.

Inherited partial trisomy 8q (22 leads to qter).

We report clinical observations and cytogenetic studies of an inherited form of partial trisomy 8q. Although complete trisomy 8 has in recent years proven to be a clinically recognizable syndrome, partial trisomy 8q has been documented in only six individuals. Of these, five were familial and also partially trisomic for chromosome 22. There has been only one prior report of partial trisomy 8q without partial trisomy 22. Review of these cases provides support for the recent suggestion that the phenotype of trisomy 8 may be caused principally by trisomy of the distal segment of 8q.

Familial 'partial 9p' trisomy: six cases and four carriers in three generations.

Six cases of translocation trisomy for the distal half of the short arm of a number 9 chromosome and four asymptomatic balanced translocation carriers are presented in a three-generation pedigree. The clinical features are remarkably similar to those recently recognized and increasingly reported in full short arm (9p) trisomy and should be considered a modification of the same syndrome. In addition to non-specific mental retardation and short stature, there is, in common, a characteristic facies, including down-turned corners of the mouth, a slightly bulbous nose, moderately large ears, suggestively wide-set eyes with an antimongoloid slant, dysplasia and hypolasis of the nails, clindactyly of the 5th fingers, and abnormal dermatoglyphs. It appears that the 'trisomy 9p syndrome' in its variant forms, including trisomies for more or less than just the short (p) arm, is one of the most common clinical autosome anomalies in humans, exceeded only by trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome) and possibly trisomies of chromosomes 13 and 18.

Partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 1 in myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera.

We have identified partial trisomy 1q in 2 patients with different hematologic disorders. The first patient was a 55-year-old female with myelosclerosis and myeloid metaplasia diagnosed at age 38 years presenting with anemia, fatigue, bruising, fever, and splenomegaly. At age 56, she had 50--95% myeloblast cells and 95--100 nucleated RBC precursors per 100 WBC. Chromosome analysis of unstimulated leukocytes with Q, G, and C banding showed 46,XX,-6,+t(1;6) (q25;p22) in all metaphase cells. In vitro incorporation of Fe55 was demonstrated 90% of metaphases by autoradiography. The second patient, a 49-year-old male, was diagnosed as having polycythemia vera at age 30 during a regular checkup. He since developed hepatosplenomegaly. Chromosome analysis from a direct bone marrow preparation at age 44 and 45 showed grossly normal karyotypes. At age 49, his marrow by Q and G banding showed almost 100% of cells with 46,XY,-13,+t(1;13) (q12;p12). Eleven cases of trisomy of 1q have been reported in various hematologic disorders. It is apparent that partial trisomy 1q represents another nonrandom chromosomal abnormality, in addition to the most common nonrandom chromosomal aberrations, such as the Philadelphia chromosome, trisomy 8, trisomy 9, and monosomy 7 in hematologic disorders.

Origin of acrocentric trisomies in spontaneous abortuses.

A total of 33 spontaneous abortuses with various acrocentric trisomies were studied for the origin of the extra chromosomes using Q- and R-band polymorphisms as markers. Eleven trisomic abortuses were informative: nine trisomic abortuses (one with trisomy 13, three with trisomy 21, and five with trisomy 22 including one with a 46,XX/47,XX,+22 mosaicism) originated at maternal first meiosis; a 21-trisomic abortus resulted from an error at maternal second meiosis (or first mitosis); and a 13-trisomic abortus was of maternal first or second meiotic origin. The abortus with mosaic trisomy 22 started as a 22-trisomic zygote resulting from an error at maternal first meiosis, followed by a mitotic (in vivo or in vitro) loss of the paternally derived chromosome 22.

Partial trisomy 1 due to 1/17 translocation in Ph'-positive chronic myelocytic leukemia.

A patient with chronic myelocytic leukaemia (CML) had the Philadelphia chromosome from the standard 9/22 translocation, a partial trisomy 1 secondary to an unbalanced 1/17 translocation, and a more recent clone with the addition of trisomy 22. This is the third case of partial trisomy 1 associated with the Philadelphia chromosome. Trisomy 1 in haematological disorders is discussed with reference to its clinical significance in CML, the segment of chromosome no. 1 involved, and the mechanism of origin of the partial trisomies. Anomalies of chromosome 1, although not specific to any of them, seem to be important in the development of myeloproliferative disorders and of neoplasms in general.
