Question 1

what is the definition or description of: trisomy?

Accepted Answer

Chromosomal  tripled: Ordinary chromosomal traits require a pair of chromosomes to determine the traits.  Occasionally, as a mistake in cellular division, there is a tripling of one of the chromosomes.  When these occur, they usually cause unpleasant, and sometimes deadly conditions in the inheritor of these traits (e.g. Down's).  Many we do not know about as they are lethal prior to birth.

Question 2

what is the difference in gfr calculators? some tell me my egfr is 59 and some tell me its 62?

Accepted Answer

Trivial difference: Different equations will give different values but the differences are not clinically meaningful. While a breakpoint of 60 is often used to mark different levels of egfr the difference between 59 and 62 is not clinically meaningful.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

15 days: 5 days  after  menstruation / during  menstruation / 5 days before menses.

Question 4

can radiation cause trisomy 13?

Accepted Answer

Not to my knowledge: Trisomy is caused by a robertsonian translocation in the karyotype of one of the parents or by a meiotic nondisjunction event of a sperm or egg cell.  88% of time trisomy comes from nondisjunction in the maternal egg and 8% comes from nondisjunction in the paternal sperm.

Question 5

what're the causes of trisomy 18?

Accepted Answer

Genetic accident.: Trisomy 18 is a generally perinatally lethal (few exceptions prove the rule) genetic aberration that occurs when chromosomal non-disjunction occurs in either the maternal or paternal gamete (egg, sperm). There is no cure and comfort care is all that is ethically permissible.

Question 6

whats abnormal facies in trisomy?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal facies: The term "abnormal facies" refers to unusually facial features. What unusual facial features present will depend upon which trisomy is present.

Question 7

are online bmi calculators accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you enter your correct height and weight into the proper equation or a bmi calculator, the results should be correct.  The exact meaning of a particular bmi might be open to interpretation as someone who is very muscular and has only 4% body fat might have a higher bmi than a couch potato who has love handles.  For most of us, the bmi is a good indicator of appropriate weight versus overweight.

Question 9

is trisomy 13 dominant or recessive?

Accepted Answer

Neither: Any defect like trisomy 13, that involves acquiring an extra chromosome, has nothing to do with dominant or recessive genes. It occurs when usually the egg carries 2 rather than 1 of the 13 chromosomes. Fertilization by a normal sperm with one of every chromosome creates an embryo with three # 13's.If the embryo survives pregnancy it emerges as a trisomy 13 infant  with all the problems they have.

Question 10

what is edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) like?

Accepted Answer

Extra chromosome: In trisomy 18 the patient has an extra chromosome 18.  This genetic disorder frequently causes heart and kidney defects. They may have a small head and jaw and usually have severe developmental delay. Here is a link http://www.Trisomy18.Org/site/pageserver?Pagename=whatist18_whatis.
