32
How would you diagnose a suspected Down's syndrome patient? [2]
**Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)** may be used for rapid diagnosis of trisomy 21 (prenatal diagnosis and postnatal confirmation) Does not provide information about whether trisomy 21 is secondary to a translocation. Therefore, a FISH test must be **confirmed by a complete karyotype analysis**
33
Explain the tests you would conduct for a newly diagnosed Downs Syndrome baby and why [4]
**Cardiac assessment (echocardiogram)**: Between 40 and 60% of babies with Down syndrome have congenital heart defects **Hearing tests**: sensorineural hearing loss identified at newborn hearing screening in children with Down syndrome is higher than in the general population at 4-6%. **Ophthalmology**: increase in congenital cataract AND infantile glaucoma **Ensure feeding established and no vomiting**: congenital malformations of their gastrointestinal tract

40
How does breast tissue change during early infant [1], puberty [1] to pregnancy [1]
**In early infant:** breast tissue is just ducts (lobules at end) **Puberty**: lobules grow a bit and divide into 10/12 acini at end found interminal duct lovular unit **Pregnancy:** further development of TDLU: grow bigger. cells undergrow hypertrophy and produce merocrine and apocrine proteins
41

45
What is sclerosing adenosis of breast tissue & is it pathological. Explain your answer [3]
Sclerosing adenosis: * proliferating lobules are squeezed together: makes them appear small and infiltrating * BUT: cuboidal epithelial, myoepithelial cells and basement membrane remain * Therefore: **Benign**

**Benign breast tumours** characterized by **proliferation of ducts (adenoma) and stroma (fibro)**
48
Describe histological changes in fibroadenomas
