A corneal abnormality associated with trisomy 8 mosaicism syndrome.

چکیده
Eye abnormalities are a significant feature of trisomy 8 mosaicism syndrome. This paper gives the first account of the specific histopathology of a corneal opacity which is characteristic of this syndrome. The importance of early recognition is stressed because of potential therapeutic visual improvement. The necessity of including mosaic trisomy 8 in the differential diagnosis of such corneal opacities is illustrated by this case.

متن کاملA live infant with trisomy 14 mosaicism and nuclear abnormalities of the neutrophils.
