trisomy 18ObjectivesTo derive a model and examine the performance of first-trimester screening for trisomy 18 by maternal age, fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness, and maternal serum free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A)....

such as microcephaly and brachycephaly8, will likely also have been recognisable to past societies. Specifically, the external physical manifestations of Down syndrome usually develop with age and can lead to a missed
Workup in trisomy 18 First-trimester, noninvasive screening based on maternal age, serum markers, and sonographic “soft markers” has demonstrated a high sensitivity for the diagnosis of trisomy 18, [4, 5, 6] and it is now being applied routinely. [1] Amniocentesis is routinely recommended...
From twenty cases of trisomy 18 (16 girls and 4 boys) collected in Britany from 1966 to 1974, the authors described etiology, dysmorphic syndrome and visceral malformations of this chromosomal aberration which is the most frequent after 21 trisomy. Adding their results to those of 243 cases prev...
Most trisomies show a maternal age effect, but the effect varies markedly among chromosomes. The increased maternal age effect is especially impressive for double trisomies. Trisomies incompatible with life predictably show slower growth than those compatible with life (e.g., trisomies 13, 18, 21)...
karyotype: 47, XX, þ 18[2] (Figure 1). The remaining 17 cells had a normal karyotype with no structural or numerical chromosomal abnormalities. Clinical Features Including the index case, the 11 patients ranged in age from 2 to 17 years (mean 8 years; median 7 years). Of these ...
trisomy 18tumor cytogeneticsA 26-monlh-old female with trisomy 18 and repaired omphalocele, died of metastatic disease after resection of hepatoblastoma (HB) at 21 months of age. Four other cases (three of them, published) suggest that the association of trisomy 18 and, HB may be nonrandom...
Relative hypogammaglobulinemia was demon- strated by serum electrophoresis and serum immunoglobulins were low for her age (IgG, 472mg/dl; IgA, 27rag/all). Anemia and cardiac enlargement with increased pulmonary vascularity developed at 1 month of age. Intravenous pyelogram showed upper deviation ...
Mean age at death was 64 days.Discussion: This is the first study to review the specific palliative care needs of infants born with trisomy 18, to show that successful home discharge is possible & to comment on place of death.A national database is needed to identify infants diagnosed with...
