Summary
Complete trisomy is a fatal chromosomal anomaly. This case highlights the less-understood hematologic abnormalities in peripheral blood, alongside physical and placental features.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Hematology
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Complete trisomy is a rare chromosomal disorder with severe phenotypic abnormalities.
- Hematologic manifestations are not well-characterized in complete trisomy.
- Understanding these features is crucial for comprehensive patient assessment.
Observation:
- A case of a live-born infant with complete trisomy is presented.
- Detailed examination of peripheral blood hematologic features was performed.
- Abnormal physical characteristics of the infant and placenta were also noted.
Findings:
- The study details the specific hematologic abnormalities observed in the peripheral blood of an infant with complete trisomy.
- Associated dysmorphic features and placental abnormalities are described.
- This case contributes to the understanding of the hematologic spectrum in this condition.
Implications:
- This case report expands the knowledge of hematologic complications in complete trisomy.
- It emphasizes the importance of thorough hematologic evaluation in infants with chromosomal anomalies.
- Findings may aid in future diagnostic and management strategies for similar cases.
