Most chromosomal trisomies lead to spontaneous abortion. To date, trisomies of all human chromosomes have been observed. Chromosome 1 has been the most elusive, as trisomy 1 was the last aberration to be identified. To date there has been only one case report of a full trisomy 1 in the literature [1997: Am J Med Genet 68:98]. We have identified a second full trisomy 1 from the chromosome analysis of products of conception. We present a patient who conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF). The cellular divisions of the fertilized egg were carefully monitored prior to transfer. Hormonal changes (increased hCG) indicated that implantation had occurred. Vaginal ultrasound demonstrated a gestational sac. At 42 days postfertilization no fetal heart beat could be detected. Cytogenetic analysis of the chorionic villi isolated from the products of conception found that all of the cells analyzed contained a 47,XY,+1 chromosomal complement.

Center of Prenatal Diagnosis, Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, Lianyungang, Jiangsu 222000, China.
Objective: To explore the clinical significance of trisomy 7 signaled by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
Methods: Pregnant women with high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2017 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects, and the results of prenatal diagnosis and follow-up were analyzed. Literature related to pregnant women with a high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2016 to July 2024 was retrieved from China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed database.
Neuropathology of trisomy 21 mosaicism in a case with early-onset dementia.

Introduction: This study investigated the impact of trisomy 21 mosaicism (mT21) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology in a well-characterized clinical case described by Ringman et al.
Methods: We describe AD neuropathology in mT21 including amyloid beta, phosphorylated tau, astrogliosis, microgliosis, α-synuclein, and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in cerebral cortex, hippocampal subregions, and amygdala using immunohistochemistry.
Results: We observed high AD neuropathologic change with a score of A3B3C3.
Pediatric gastrostomy tube referral patterns and postoperative use: A single-center experience.

Department of Surgery, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.
Objectives: Practice variability exists regarding the timing of gastrostomy tube (GT) placement in patients unable to maintain adequate oral nutrition. We sought to assess patient factors predictive of longer surgical GT use to inform patient selection.
Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study including children ≤18 years who underwent surgical GT placement from June 1, 2018 to June 1, 2021 at a children's hospital.
Microcell-mediated chromosome transfer between non-identical human iPSCs.

Department of Chromosome Biomedical Engineering, Integrated Medical Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Tottori University, 86 Nishi-cho, Yonago, Tottori 683-8503, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) is a new technique for manipulating chromosome numbers using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to create disease models with hyperaneuploidy.
- The study highlights the efficiency of using hiPSCs as both donor and recipient cells in the chromosome transfer process, allowing for the tagging and transfer of specific chromosomes like Chr21 and ChrY using CRISPR-Cas9.
- This innovative method aims to improve the study of rare diseases and enhance our understanding of early development by integrating key chromosomal regions into hiPSCs.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on the risk of Alzheimer's disease in adults with Down syndrome, using amyloid and tau PET imaging to track disease progression.
- It involved a longitudinal analysis of 167 participants, assessing cognitive functioning and biomarkers over two visits between 2017 and 2022.
- The research aimed to determine the timeline for symptomatic Alzheimer's based on "amyloid age" and its relation to cognitive decline and tau accumulation.
