Prader-Willi Syndrome
Intrinsically abnormal process that forms abnormal tissue
Malformation
Mechanical forces exerted on normal tissue that results in abnormal tissue

Collection of seemingly unrelated abnormal features that occur in a familiar pattern
Syndrome
Modality to evaluate for fetal abnormalities
Ultrasound
High AFP is seen with
1) Neural Tube Defects
2) MFG
3) Ventral Abdominal Wall Defects
4) Underestimated GA
5) Fetal Demise
Low AFP is seen with
1) Overestimation of GA
2) Trisomy 21 and 18
3) IUGR
Components of the Triple Screen
AFP, estriol and B-HCG
High B-HCG and Low AFP/Estriol on Triple Screen suggests
Down Syndrome
Low B-HCG, AFP and Estriol on Triple Screen suggests
Trisomy 18

Method of evaluating fetus for genetic issues that can also be used to give meds/transfusions
Percutaneous Umbilical Blood Sampling
Genetics of Marfan Syndrome
AD mutation in Fibrillin on Chromosome 15
Tall stature, long extremities, arachnodactyly, joint laxity, pectus excavatum, upward lens subluxation, aortic root dilation, MVP and Aortic Regurgitation
Marfan Syndrome
Condition that presents similarly to Marfan
Homocystinuria
Decreased Upper/Lower Segment ratio is seen w/
Marfan Syndrome
