Antenatal Diagnosis of De Novo Balanced Structural Chromosome Aberrations in Latin America.

CONCLUSIONS Three new de novo breakpoints were identified, presumably related to genetic admixture characteristics in Latin America. Since some diseases associated with de novo balanced structural aberrations detected antenatally have a late onset, followup for at least two years is recommended for carriers of these aberrations. The information in this study is useful in genetic counseling for pregnant women in Latin America. PMID: 31242169 [PubMed - in process]
