Microdeletions of chromosomal region 22q11 in patients with congenital conotruncal cardiac defects.
Congenital conotruncal cardiac defects occur with increased frequency in patients with DiGeorge syndrome (DGS). Previous studies have shown that the majority of patients with DGS or velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) have a microdeletion within chromosomal region 22q11. We hypothesised that patients with conotruncal defects who were not diagnosed with DGS or VCFS would also have 22q11 deletions. ...

Study of this co-occurrence may yield important clues about the causes of both. OBJECTIVE To examine the co-occurrence of birth defects and MR, taking into consideration the type of birth defect, level of MR, co-occurrence of MR with other developmental disabilities...
متن کاملRisk factors for conotruncal cardiac defects in Atlanta.

Eligible cases included all infants who were born from 1976 through 1980 to residents of the five county metropolitan Atlanta area and diagnosed with truncus arteriosus, transposition of the great arteries or tetralogy ...
متن کاملChromosomal abnormalities in severely malnourished Indian children.
The frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in Giemsa-bar:ded preparations obtained from peripheral blood cultures of 5 kwashiorkor, 3 marasmic and 2 marasmickwashiorkor patients were investigated. Analysis of 1120 metaphases from these patients revealed an aberration rate of 5. 80 per cent as against a frequency of 1. 66 per cent seen in control children. However, no particular chromosome or ch...
متن کاملChromosomal abnormalities in Pakistani children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
BACKGROUND Cytogenetic abnormalities have important implications in diagnosis and prognosis of acute leukemia and are now considered an important part of the diagnostic workup at presentation. Karyotype, if known at the time of diagnosis, guides physicians to plan appropriate management strategies for their patients. AIM AND OBJECTIVES To determine the cytogenetic profile of acute lymphoblast...
