Karyotype pattern and maternal age distribution in down syndrome patients analyzed at Human Genome Center, University Sains Malaysia, Kelantan. Buletin Persatuan Genetik Malaysia, 12 (2). p. 1. ISSN 1394-5750 (2006)
Abstract
Down Syndrome (DS), is a complex genetic disease resulting
from the presence of 3 copies of chromosome 21. It is the most
common autosomal abnormality among live births and the most
commonly recognized genetic cause of mental retardation. The
only well established risk factor for DS is advanced maternal age.
The Human Genome Center , University Sains Malaysia, Kelantan
has been carrying out cytogenetic studies in DS patients. Here
we, report the karyotype pattern of Down Syndrome patients
in correlation with maternal age, among referral cases to our
Center.
