A

1- one Y chromosome, at least two X chromosomes (**47XXY, 48XXXY, etc)

2- non–disjunction of sex chromosomes during meiosis

3- hypogonadism

18

A

1:

  • testicular atrophy = sterility
  • reduced body hair
  • gynecomastia
  • eunuchoid body habitus (tall, slim, underweight, long arms/legs)

2:

+ psychoses (bipolar, schizophrenia), developmental delay

20
Q

Define Malformation

A

-primary structural abnormality with poor formation of tissue – localized error occurring during development

  • intrinsically abnormal development process
  • most children are normal otherwise
21
Q

list the common example of malformations

A
  • polydactyly, syndactyly
  • cleft lip, cleft palate
  • congenital heart disease
22
Q

Define Disruption

A
  • structural defect via secondary destruction / interference of previously normally formed part
  • extrinsic disturbance in morphogenesis
23
Q

define Amniotic bands and include what type of congenital abnormality it is

A

(Disruption)
-entanglement followed by tearing apart / amputation of normally developed structure

-interruptions of blood supply leading to infarction, necrosis, and/or resorption of distal structures

24
Q

Define Deformation

A

-localized or generalized compression of growing fetus by abnormal biomechanical forces

  • extrinsic disturbance
  • arises later in fetal life
25
Q

Deformations:

  • (1) is the most common cause
  • (2) are maternal risk factors
  • (3) are fetal risk factors

26
Q

______ is a very common deformation

A

clubfoot

27
Q

Define Sequence

A
  • multiple congenital anomalies resulting from secondary effects on Single Localized aberration in organogenesis
  • initiating event may be a malformation, disruption, deformation
28
Q

Potter sequence = (1):

  • (2) are causes of (1)
  • (3) are the consequences
A

1- oligohydramnios sequence (lack of amniotic fluid)

2:

  • amniotic fluid leak
  • uteroplacental insufficiency

  • Oligohydramnios: amnion nodosum (nodules), pulmonary hypoplasia
  • Fetal compression: pulmonary hypoplasia, altered facies, positioning defects of hands/feet, breech presentation
29
Q
  • (1) definition of malformation syndrome
  • (2) are the exceptions to (1)
  • (3) are the general principles malformation syndromes depend on
A

Definition: 1 or more developmental anomalies of 2 or more systems

  • depends on timing in gestation / development (if it will occur, what will occur, severity of malformation)
  • may relate to teratogenic targets: eg. SHH, HOX genes
  • Down syndrome
  • Kleinfelter’s syndrome
30
Q

Match the error with the following definitions of morphogenesis:

  • (1) multiple congenital anomalies resulting from secondary effects on Single Localized aberration in organogenesis
  • (2) localized or generalized compression of growing fetus by abnormal biomechanical forces

1- sequence
2- deformation
3- malformation
4- disruption

31
Q

  • (2) cleft lip/palate
  • (3) clubfoot
  • (4) oligohydramnios
  • (5) polydactyly/syndactyly
