Quantitative proteomic analysis of amniocytes reveals potentially dysregulated molecular networks in Down syndrome
8 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Down syndrome (DS), caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, affects 1 in 750 live births and is characterized by cognitive impairment and a constellation of congenital defects. Currently, little is known about the molecular pathogenesis and no direct genotype-phenotype relationship has yet been confirmed. Since DS amniocytes are expected to have a distinct biological behaviour compared to normal...
