The researchers have said that structural variations in chromosomes influence ASD and they suggest a routine clinical workup. This report is published online on the 17th January in the American Journal of Human Genetics, a...

brain bleed low platelets :: Article Creator Aspirin 'safe' For Brain-bleed Strokes By Michelle RobertsHealth editor, BBC News online Patients who have had a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain can safely take aspirin to cut their risk of future strokes and heart problems, according to a new study. Aspirin thins the blood and so doctors have been cautious about giving it, fearing it could make bleeds worse. But The Lancet research suggests it does not increase the risk of new brain bleeds, and may even lower it. Experts say the "strong indication" needs confirming with more research. Only take daily aspirin if your doctor recommends it, they advise. Aspirin benefits and risks Aspirin is best known as a painkiller and is sometimes also taken to help bring down a fever. But daily low-dose (75mg) aspirin is used to make the blood less sticky and can help to prevent heart attacks and stroke. Most strokes a...

chromosomal abnormalities trisomy 21 :: Article Creator Trisomy 21 Causes Down Syndrome One could argue that the presence of extra copies of chromosome 21 in DS patients is only a correlation between an abnormality and the disease. However, scientists have developed trisomic mouse models that display symptoms of human DS, providing strong evidence that extra copies of chromosome 21 are, indeed, responsible for DS. It is possible to construct mouse models of DS because mouse chromosomes contain several regions that are syntenic with regions on human chromosome 21. (Syntenic regions are chromosomal regions in two different species that contain the same linear order of genes.) With mapping of the human and mouse genomes now complete, researchers can identify syntenic regions in mouse and human chromosomes with great precision. As shown in Figure 4, regions on the arms of mouse chromosomes 10 (MMU10), 16 (MMU16), and 17 (MMU17) are syntenic with regio...

patau trisomy 13 :: Article Creator Combined Screening Test For Down's, Edwards' And Patau's Syndrome As part of your NHS antenatal care, from about 12 weeks into your pregnancy, you will be offered various scans, checks and tests to make sure that your baby is healthy and developing well. One of these tests, called the combined screening test, checks for Down's, Edwards' and Patau's syndromes. You will be asked whether you want to have this test or not; you can refuse and no one will mind. And we reckon it's worth arming yourself with some info before you're asked to make that decision. What are these syndromes exactly? All 3 syndromes are genetic disorders where a baby has an extra copy (or part of a copy) of a particular chromosome, leading to particular set of disabilities or growth problems. Both Edwards' and Patau's syndrome are very rare – and more serious – than Down's syndrome. Edwa...
