Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genes

Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop

and functionThey govern our physical and medical

characteristics, such as hair color, blood type and susceptability to

disease. Each chromosome has a p and q arm;

p is the shorter arm and q is the longer arm.

The arms are separated by a pinched region known as the centromere

The typical number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46 - two pairs of 22 + XX/XY

Holding an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 genes.

One set of 23 chromosomes is inherited from the biological mother (from the egg), and the other set is inherited from the biological father (from the sperm).

with a microscope , then Stainning The chromosomes look like strings

with light and dark "bands" A picture, or chromosome map, of

all 46 chromosomes is called a karyotype

The karyotype can help identify chromosome abnormalities that are evident in either the structure or the number of chromosomes.

Page 6: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

The pairs have been numbered from 1 to 22, with the 23rd pair labeled "X" and "Y."

In addition, each chromosome arm is defined further by numbering the bands that appear after staining

The higher the number, the further that area is from the centromere.

The first 22 pairs of chromosomes are called "autosomes"

Final pair is called the "sex chromosomes." The sex chromosomes an individual has

determines that person's gender; females have two X chromosomes (XX), and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).

Chromosome abnormalities : happen as a result of an error in cell

division. “Meiosis” is the name used to describe the cell division that the egg and sperm go through when they are developing.

Normally, meiosis causes a halving of chromosome material, so that each parent gives 23 chromosomes to a pregnancy

Page 15: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

When an individual is missing either a chromosome from a pair (monosomy) or has more than two chromosomes of a pair (trisomy).

An example: Down Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21 (an individual with Down Syndrome has three copies of chromosome 21, rather than two).

Page 16: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

Kleinfelter Syndrome is an example of trisomy the individual is born with three sex chromosome, XXY.

Turner Syndrome is an example of monosomy the individual is born with only one sex chromosome, an X.

The risk of trisomy 21 is directly related to maternal age

Patients who will be 35 years or older on their due date should be offered chorionic villus sampling or second-trimester amniocentesis

Page 24: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

Women younger than 35 years should be offered maternal serum screening at 16 to 18 weeks of gestation

The maternal serum markers used to screen for trisomy 21 are alpha-fetoprotein, unconjugated estriol and human chorionic gonadotropin

Page 25: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

The use of ultrasound to estimate gestational age improves the sensitivity and specificity of maternal serum screening. (Am Fam Physician 2000;62:825-32,837-8.)

Page 26: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

Trisomy 21 is present in 95 percent of persons with Down syndrome.

Mosaicism, a mixture of normal diploid and trisomy 21 cells, occurs in 2 percent.

Page 27: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

The remaining 3 percent have a Robertsonian translocation in which all or part of an extra chromosome 21 is fused with another chromosome.

Page 28: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

The reciprocal transfer of the long arms of two of the acrocentric chromosomes: 13, 14, 15, 21 or 22

On rare occasions, other non-acrocentric chromosomes undergo Robertsonian translocation

Page 29: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

a reciprocal transfer of the whole long or short arms close to the centromere

A relatively common Robertsonian translocation is between chromosome 14 and chromosome 21

In meiosis, a trivalent is formed.

Persons with Down syndrome usually have mild to moderate mental retardation

School-aged children with Down syndrome often have difficulty with language, communication

Adults with Down syndrome have a high prevalence of early Alzheimer's disease

at age 35, the risk increases to 1/365

At age 45, the risk of a having a child with Down syndrome increases to 1/30

Page 46: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

If all pregnant women 35 years or older chose to have amniocentesis

about 30 percent of trisomy 21 pregnancies would be detected

Women younger than 35 years give birth to about 70 percent of infants with Down syndrome

Page 47: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

Maternal serum screening (multiple-marker screening) can allow the detection of trisomy 21 pregnancies in women in this younger age group.

Page 48: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) unconjugated estriol human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)

the serum markers most widely used to screen for Down syndrome

Page 49: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

AFP is produced in the yolk sac and fetal liver.

Unconjugated estriol and hCG are produced by the placenta.

The maternal serum levels of each of these proteins and of steroid hormones vary with the gestational age of the pregnancy.

Page 50: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

With trisomy 21, second-trimester maternal serum levels of AFP and unconjugated estriol are about 25 percent lower than normal levels

maternal serum hCG is approximately two times higher than the normal hCG level

Page 51: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

The triple test can detect approximately 60 percent of the pregnancies affected by trisomy 21, with a false-positive rate of about 5 percent.

Page 52: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

In women older than 35 years, the triple test fails to detect 10 to 15 percent of pregnancies affected by trisomy 21.

Page 53: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

If a patient has had a trisomy 21 pregnancy in the past, the risk of recurrence in a subsequent pregnancy increases to approximately 1-3

percent above the baseline risk determined by maternal age

Page 54: Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genesgenes  Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function  They.

Diagnosis of a chromosome-21 translocation in the fetus or newborn is an indication for karyotype analysis of both parents

If both parents have normal karyotypes, the recurrence risk is 2 to 3 percent

Chorionic villus sampling10 to 12 weeks 0.5 to 1.5 %

Early amniocentesis12 to 15 weeks 1.0 to 2.0 %

Second-trimester amniocentesis15 to 20 weeks 0.5 to 1.0 %

Women who will be 35 years or older on their due date should be offered chorionic villus sampling or second-trimester amniocentesis.

Women younger than 35 years should be offered maternal serum screening at 15 to 18 weeks' gestation.

During the first trimester of the majority of pregnancies, it is possible to measure the size of the fluid area at the back of the fetus’s neck, known as the nuchal translucency or NT The increasing size of the NT indicates a greater risk of the fetus having Down’s syndrome.
