03 UnusualPatterns ofInheritance Congenital Malformations&Teratogenesis
BirthDefect(def ): structural/functional/metabolicdisorderspresent at birth
Causes: chromosomal abnormalities,environmental, multifactorial,unidentifiedorigin
Teratogen(def ): anything disruptingdevelopment and producingmalformations(birthdefects)
Main Principles:dosage, timeand length of exposure,genotype of embryo
Drugsaffectingpregnancy:
A) Accutane(VitA): serious teratogenand can cause seriousbirthdefects
B) Lead, mercury,pesticides(agent Orange): can also cause defect s and affect the germ
cells. In people already born
C) Alcohol and tobacco: can cause alcohol fetal syndrome, low birthweight, increase
riskof prematuredelivery and nicotine can constrictblood flow tothe placenta and
impairdevelopment Chromosomal Abnormalities
DownSyndrome (Trisomy 21)
● 47, XX, +21
● 1 in 1000 (most common trisomy)
● Detected via antenatal scans, maternal serum screening or facial appearance at birth
● Developmental delay, intellectual disability
● Features* : low set ears, transverse palmar
crease, flattened nose, upslanting palpebral
fissures, short neck, short stature, sandal gap
deformity, obesity and. 40% have a heart
malformationEdwards Syndrome (Trisomy18)
● 47, XX, +18
● 1 in 5000 (second most common)
● Severe developmental delay (seizures and structural abnormalities)
● Most are miscarried or don’t make it pass the 1 week after being
born
● Arthrogryposis (Multiple joint contractures)
th rd th
● Clenched hands with index and 5 fingers overriding 3 and 4
● Rocker-bottom foot with prominent calcaneusPatau Syndrome (Trisomy 13)
● 47, XX, +13
● 1 in 10,000
● Polydactyl
st
● High rates of miscarriage, 20% survive at 1 year
● Structural defects: rocker bottom feet, clenched hands, cleft palate,
urogenital, heart SBA

• Forms between homologous or
non-homologous acrocentric
chromosomes.
• Can happen between
(13,14,15,21,22,Y)
• 13 and 14 are the most common
• Carriers are phenotypically normal
• Risk of miscarriage is normal, but
carriers can present with infertility SBA
