. Monosomics for all human autosomes die in utero. A sex-chromosome monosomic complement of 44 autosomes + 1 X produces the phenotype of Turner syndrome. The most common type of viable human aneuploid is Down syndrome occurring at a frequency of about 0.15 percent of all live births The only other human autosomal trisomy to survive to birth are afflicted with either trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) or trisomy 18(Edwards syndrome). Trisomies chromosome 2, 16, and 22 are relatively common in abortuses but never survive to birth. Trisomy of the sex chromosomes is possible, such as in (47,XXX), (47,XXY), and (47,XYY).
NT - MOST ROBUST MARKER • NASAL BONE • TRICUSPID FLOW • DUCTUS VENOSUS FLOW Usg markers
COMBINEDSCREENING MA+NT+BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS Advantages compared to second trimester biochemical screening include: Earlier diagnosis (11-14 weeks) Higher detection rates for fetal Down syndrome (80-90% or perhaps even higher compared to 75% for the second trimester "quad" screen and 60-70% for the older "triple" screen) Detection of most major chromosome abnormalities other than trisomy 21 Acts as a nonspecific marker for other birth defects including some major cardiac defects and syndromic conditions Can detect a number of major structural birth defects associated with normal chromosomes The primary disadvantage is Narrow window of entry (11-14 weeks with ideal entry at 11-12 weeks).

Normally nuchal translucency disappears by 14 weeks. Noteworthy are cases with abnormal NT that resolve spontaneously around 14 weeks and show healthy outcome Chromosomally and structurally normal fetuses with history of thickened NT with no evidence of nuchal fold thickening or non-immune hydrops, at 20 weeks -- no increased risk for perinatal or long-term morbidity and mortality ABNORMAL NT NORMAL FETUS

Fetal cardiac examinations optimally performed between 18-22 weeks.

One of the most common congenital cardiac anomaly VSD is easily diagnosed on the four-chamber view alone. However, color Doppler US may be needed to demonstrate smaller defects and some may not be detected until after birth. Small VSD (MUSCULAR)show spontaneous closure VSD
When the endocardial cushions fail to fuse, a wide range of atrioventricularseptal defects occur. ENDOCARDIAL CUSHION DEFECT (four-chamber view) shows absence of the interventricular and interatrial septa, thus producing connections between the ventricles and between the atria.
The undivided truncus receives blood from both ventricles. A VSD is almost always present PERSISTENT TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS a.(four-chamber view) shows a VSD (arrow). Dao descending aorta. b.(base view) shows a single trunk (arrow) overriding both ventricles.
Small left ventricle, which is associated with aortic atresia. Atretic or hypoplastic mitral valve. HYPOLPASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME Hypoplastic left heart syndrome in a fetus (four-chamber view) shows that the left ventricle is small relative to the right ventricle and the left atrium is small relative to the right atrium.
