What are the treatment plan for TRISOMY 21?
Dave K.
Using breeding techn iques, Andrei Dyban and V. S. Baranov (Cytogenetics of Mammalian Embryonic Development. Oxford: Oxford University Press, Clarendon Press; New York: Oxford University Press, 1987 ) created mice that were trisomic for each of the different mouse chromosomes. They found that only mice with trisomy 19 developed. Mice trisomic for all other chromosomes died in the course of development. For some of these trisomics, they compared the length of development (number of days after conception before the embryo died) as a function of the size of the mouse chromosome that was present in three copies (see the adjoining graph). Summarize their findings as presented in this graphand provide a possible explanation for the results. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)
Kuliev and Verlinsky (2004) state that there was a relatively high number of separation errors at meiosis I. In these cases the centromere underwent a premature division, occurring at meiosis I rather than meiosis II. Regarding chromosome 21 what would you expect to be the chromosome 21 complement in the secondary oocyte in which you saw a single chromatid (monad) for chromosome 21 in the first polar body? If this secondary oocyte was involved in fertilization, what would be the expected consequences?
