摘要: Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is the most common genetic disorder with a prevalence of 1 in 660 live births [1]. In 1959, Lejeune and colleagues discovered basis DS named as chromosome 21, which smallest human autosomal chromo‐ some [2]. Trisomy can occur three types chromosomal abnormalities: free translocation mosaicism. Free characterized by presence complete copies occurring about 90-95% cases [3-5]. More than 90% nondisjunction are maternal origin, mainly during meiosis I, 5% involve an additional paternal extra small propor‐ tion (2%) consequence post-zygotic mitotic non-disjunction [6]. Translocations at‐ tributed to 1-7% cases, Robertsonian involving chromosomes 14 being type. Mosaicism, cells containing 46 others 47 (with 1), reported
