ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]
The extra chromosome content can arise through several different ways. The most common cause (about 92–95% of cases) is a complete extra copy of chromosome 21, resulting in trisomy 21. [92] [97] In 1–2.5% of cases, some of the cells in the body are normal and others have trisomy 21, known as mosaic Down syndrome.
This method can diagnose PKS in 10 week and older fetuses. In cfDNA screening, DNA from a mothers blood is extracted and screened for the presence of specific chromosome abnormalities such as those associated with the Down syndrome, Patau syndrome (also termed trisomy 13 [8]), and Edwards syndrome (also termed trisomy 18 [9]).
Trisomy X, also known as triple X syndrome and characterized by the karyotype [note 1] 47,XXX, is a chromosome disorder in which a female has an extra copy of the X chromosome. It is relatively common and occurs in 1 in 1,000 females, but is rarely diagnosed; fewer than 10% of those with the condition know they have it.
In rare cases this translocation results in Down syndrome and Patau syndrome. [2] Robertsonian translocations result in a reduction in the number of chromosomes. A Robertsonian evolutionary fusion, which may have occurred in the common ancestor of humans and other great apes, is the reason humans have 46 chromosomes while all other primates ...

Karyotype for trisomy Down syndrome. Notice the three copies of chromosome 21. Trisomy 21 (47,XY,+21) is caused by a meiotic nondisjunction event. [3] A typical gamete (either egg or sperm) has one copy of each chromosome (23 total). When it is combined with a gamete from the other parent during conception, the child has 46 chromosomes.
1q21.1 duplication syndrome arises from microduplications of the BP3-BP4 region, containing at least seven genes and a minimum duplicated region of ~1.2 Mb of unique DNA sequence. [ 7 ] 1q21.1 duplication syndrome has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, where 18–50% of deletions happen de novo and 50–82% are inherited from their parents.
