Скачать или смотреть FETAL SYNDROMES/ANEUPLOIDY BY PROF. ALIYU LABARAN

when viewing or examining fetal development, it refers to the genetic disorders that occur during fetal development. Aneuploidy is a condition where a fetus has an abnormal number of chromosomes, leading to various health issues. Here are brief explanations and examples:

1. Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21): Extra copy of chromosome 21, causing intellectual disability, delayed speech, and physical characteristics like a flat face and short neck.

2. Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18): Extra copy of chromosome 18, leading to severe intellectual disability, heart defects, and life-threatening medical issues.

3. Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13): Extra copy of chromosome 13, causing severe intellectual disability, heart defects, and physical abnormalities like a cleft palate.

4. Turner Syndrome (Monosomy X): Missing or partially deleted X chromosome in females, leading to short stature, heart defects, and reproductive issues.

5. Klinefelter Syndrome (XYY): Extra Y chromosome in males, causing tall stature, infertility, and learning difficulties.

These syndromes can be detected during pregnancy through screening tests like non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) or diagnostic tests like amniocentesis. Early diagnosis allows for better management and support for affected families.
