Chromosomal abnormalities of the embryo are the most common cause of first-trimester pregnancy loss. In this single-center study, we assessed the frequency and the spectrum of chromosomal abnormalities in miscarriages for each year of maternal age from 23 to 44. Cytogenetic data were obtained by conventional karyotyping of 7118 miscarriages in women with naturally conceived pregnancies.

Article Synopsis
- Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the deletion of one X chromosome, leading to diverse karyotypes and phenotypes, but predicting phenotypes remains challenging due to mosaicism.
- A study included 487 Turner women with non-mosaic X chromosome structural rearrangements and found prevalence rates of short stature (72.4%) and ovarian dysfunction (78.8%) linked to specific deletion groups.
- Understanding the specific X chromosome breakpoints is crucial for managing Turner syndrome, particularly for predicting and addressing ovarian dysfunction and future fertility issues.

Introduction: DYRK1A syndrome, also known as "Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 7," is a syndromic intellectual disability characterized by dysmorphic features including deep-set eyes, prominent ears, and retrognathia. Patients have neurodevelopmental problems, ocular anomalies, and multisystem phenotypes. Most cases result from single nucleotide variants causing DYRK1A-haploinsufficiency, while deletions occur in < 15% of cases.

Introduction: The cause of increased diabetes mellitus (DM) risk in individuals with Turner syndrome (TS) is poorly understood. Parent-of-origin effects related to whether the maternal or paternal X chromosome (Xchr) remains intact have been found for several TS phenotypes, including hypercholesterolemia. Therefore, Xchr parent-of-origin may impact DM risk in TS.

Purpose: Short stature is the main characteristic of Turner syndrome (TS) patients and growth hormone (GH) therapy has been essential for achieving the final adult height (Ht). In the present study, the response of TS patients with different types of karyotype abnormalities to GH therapy was analyzed.
Methods: The clinical parameters of 194 TS patients registered in the LG Growth Study were retrospectively reviewed.
