teratogens - isotretinoin(accutane, 13-cis-retinoic acid)

A

potent teratogen- behavioral and structural -‘retinoic acide embryopathy’ - craniofacial anomalies-microtiaoranotia,accessoryparietal sutures,narrow sloping forehead, micrognathia, flat nasal bridge, cleft lip and palate, ocular hypertelorism) -cardiac defects (primarily conotruncal) -abnormalities inthymic development -alterations inCNS development -40% risk of miscarriage

Q

teratogens- thalidomide

A

malformations of tissues of mesodermal origin-primarily limbs, ears, cardiac, gut muscluature

32
Q

FMRI prenatal testing

A

amniocytes are ideal specimen-CVS: —FMRI methylationstatus not yet established —folow-up CVS may be required if male fetus with 100-250 CGG repeats, not methylated -PGD —by detectionof normal parental alleles, therefore parents must have different numbers —POF issues inpremutation females
