Question
Answer
Indications for prenatal diagnosis   Maternal age 35 or greater at delivery, Previous child with an abnormality, Parental balanced translocation or other chromosome rearrangement, Parents carry AR disorder, Mother carries X-linked disorder, Sex selection, Fetal structural abnormality by ultr  
🗑
Increases with advancing maternal age   Risk of non-disjunction (failure of chromosomes in a pair to separate during meiosis)...Aging of Ova, Spindle fibers, Cumulative effect of radiation, hormone effects, infection, Delayed fertilization (due to declining rate of coitus), Relaxed selection in  
🗑
Advanced Paternal Age   Insufficient evidence to provide risk; Predisposes fetus to  
🗑
Down Syndrome   80-90% due to maternal nondisjunction; 95% trisomy 21, rest are various translocations and mosaicism; Always mentally retarded; Congenital heart disease (CHD) in 40%; Life expectancy probably 50-60 years without CHD; With CHD 30% die by age 10  
🗑
Robertsonian translocation   Involve two acrocentric chromosomes  
🗑
risk of translocation with Carrier mother   15% risk of translocation trisomy 21,  
🗑
risk of translocation with Carrier father   1-2% risk of translocation trisomy 21.  
🗑
Neural tube defects   geographic variation (1% N. Ireland, Scotland, Wales); female more common, happens at 4 weeks of development, not always paralyzed, incontinence, anesthesia, positional abnormalities  
🗑
Spinal Bifida associated with deformity at base of brain   Arnold Chiari malformation with hydrocephalus in 80% of cases  
🗑
Causation of Neural Tube Defects   Maternal nutrition, Seasonal, Valproic acid, Folate deficiency  
🗑
Non-Invasive prenatal diagnosis   serum screening for open body defects, chromosome abnormalities, and ultrasound  
🗑
Maternal serum screening   all markers depressed in trisomy 18  
🗑
Serum screening related findings w/ High maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein   Spine defects, Abdominal wall defects, Placental abnormalities  
🗑
Spinal Bifida   severity depends on upper level of defect; bowel and bladder problems; postnatal surgery and shunting; 25% risk developmental problems; offer amniocentesis for aneuploidy  
🗑
Encephalocele   severe if includes brain; Can be mildly affected if only fluid; Counsel and refer; Offer termination  
🗑
Abdominal wall defects   Omphalocele (associated with other defects), Gastroschisis, Limb-body wall defect/amniotic bands  
🗑
Gastroschisis   Counsel about other malformations, Often bowel/vascular insults, Counsel about surgery, Watch for growth restriction, Monitor closely in 3rd trimester due to risk of demise  
🗑
Trisomy 18 positive findings   Choroid plexus cysts, Clenched hand with overlapping fingers, Clubbed foot, Omphalocele, Heart defects, Single umbilical artery (2-vessel cord), Intrauterine growth restriction, Cleft lip/palate, Increased nuchal lucency, Hydramnios due to tracheoesophag  
🗑
Trisomy 18/13 counseling   2/3-3/4 die in utero, never learn to walk/talk, 90% die by age 1  
🗑
cleft lip or palate   offer amniocentesis including 22q deletion testing. can be associated with aneuploidy but good outlook with surgeries  
🗑
Down Syndrome counseling:   all mentally retarded, 40% congential heart defects, life span can be normal, offer amniocentesis and termination  
🗑
Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLOS) positive   Microcephaly, Abnormal genitals, Limb abnormalities, Syndactyly/polydactyly, Renal anomalies, Heart defects  
🗑
Head abnormalities   Holoprosencephaly, Dandy Walker cyst, Vermian abnormalities  
🗑
Clubbed foot   Can be isolated, chromosomal, syndromic, neuromuscular or other etiologies  
🗑
Invasive prenatal diagnosis   Amniocentesis (15-20 weeks), Chorionic villus sampling (10-13 weeks), Fetal blood sampling (>16 weeks), Skin and Muscle biopsy  
🗑
