Serum gonadotrophins in Down's syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) in institutionalised male patients with Down's syndrome (DS) have been found to be significantly higher than in age matched controls from the same institution. This difference is found in patients both under and over 30 years of age with respect to FSH levels, but the increase in LH levels is confined to patients with DS over 30.

Abnormal serum IgG subclass pattern in children with Down's syndrome.
Susceptibility to infections is a well known feature of Down's syndrome. The possible relation between this predisposition and the serum concentrations of the IgG subclasses was studied in 38 children with Down's syndrome aged 1-12 years. An age matched group of 50 healthy children served as controls. The serum concentrations of IgG1 and IgG3 were significantly raised among children with Down's...
متن کاملArthritis in Down's syndrome.
A 31 year old man with Down's syndrome presented with a 10 year history of an inflammatory polyarthritis resembling juvenile chronic arthritis. This case was similar to those already reported of an arthropathy associated with Down's syndrome but was eventually found to be gout. This emphasised the importance of serum uric acid estimation in patients with Down's syndrome and coexistent arthritis.

AIM To predict the effect of maternal serum screening and fetal echocardiography on the birth prevalence of Down's syndrome. METHODS The outcome of all Down's syndrome pregnancies in the Northern Health Region between 1985 and 1991 was retrospectively ascertained.

متن کاملSecond trimester screening for Down's syndrome using maternal serum dimeric inhibin A.
OBJECTIVES To determine the second trimester Down's syndrome screening performance of maternal serum dimeric inhibin A, both alone and in combination with existing serum markers.

متن کاملEvaluation of an assay of the free beta-subunit of choriogonadotropin and its potential value in screening for Down's syndrome.
In this study I investigated the analytical and clinical performance of the measurement of the free beta-subunit of choriogonadotropin (hCG) in normal pregnancies and in pregnancies affected by Down's syndrome. Free beta-hCG in maternal serum has been shown to be increased in Down's syndrome-affected pregnancies and is proportionally increased in more cases than is total hCG. This study confirm...
