genetic blood clotting disorder :: Article Creator Gal Gadot's Dangerous Blood Clot Reveals Health Risk For Pregnant Women Over the weekend, Gal Gadot revealed that the birth of her fourth daughter in early 2024 was accompanied by a life-threatening health crisis. In her eighth month of pregnancy, the 39-year-old "Wonder Woman" star was diagnosed with massive blood clot in her brain. As Gadot also shared in an Instagram post on Sunday, she learned that she's not alone among pregnant women who have faced such a terrifying medical emergency. "I had no idea that 3 in 100,000 pregnant women in the 30s+ age group are diagnosed with CVT," Gadot said. A CVT is a cerebral venous thrombosis that forms in the brain's venous sinuses and prevents blood from draining out of the brain, leading to a pressure build-up in the blood vessels and a stroke, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. While a CVT that occurs in pregnancy is...

syndrome 21 trisomy :: 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 regions on the long q ...
