1

Q

Down’s syndrome etiology and risk

A

Mostly maternal non-disjunction leading to trisomy 21. Also could be mosaic or unbalanced translocation (3% each).

risk at 35 yo: 1/370 (4x at 20 yo, 1/2-2/3 of total risk)
risk at 20 yo: 1/1660

Q

Turner syndrome…why are they abnormal?

A

short, delayed puberty, ovary problems, webbed neck, big ears, downslanting palpebral fissures, kidney and heart problems

Abnormal because some genes on silenced X escape inactivation and are necessary for normal development. Both X’s active in oogenesis, embryogenesis.
