DISCUSSION Through in-depth interviews of families in which a child was diagnosed with MT16 or in which there was evidence of CPM of T16 or MT16 during pregnancy, we found a high prevalence of obstetric and neonatal complications as well as congenital anomalies. Not surprisingly, the presence ...
In South Belgium (Wallonia), the 'triple test' was introduced in 1990-1991, and is nowadays a widely accepted screening method for assessment of trisomy 21 risk in pregnancy. The 'triple test' is not regulated and can be freely performed by any biomedical lab, making epidemiological data ...
The findings of this study confirm that in fetuses with trisomy 21 during the second trimester of pregnancy there is increased prenasal thickness. In the normal fetuses prenasal thickness increased with gestation from a mean of 2.4 mm at 16 weeks to 4.6 mm at 24 weeks, which is similar to...

11.Studies have shown that people often decide to terminate a pregnancy after finding even mild genetic conditions such as the trisomy X and XYY syndromes. 12.The physician is better known from that lecture as describing what is now known as Down syndrome—trisomy 21. ...
Protein concentration constantly increasesduring the 2nd trimester of pregnancy and its values can varyaccording to the assay method. In order to obtain uniformresults, the median multiples of a non-affected population (MoM)can be used . These multiples are calculated by dividing the AFPvalue obtain...
with the well-described association of trisomy 21 and shortening of the long bones in both postnatal studies and prenatal sonographic data from the second trimester of pregnancy1-7. Furthermore, there was no significant association between the degree of femur or humerus shortening and increase in ...
