Monosomy 11
Jacobsen Syndrome
After finally completing the assignment, I have found what
disorder the fetus has. It is called the Monosomy 11 aka: Jacobsen Syndrome. It
is a rare chromosomal disorder in which a portion of chromosome 11 is missing
or deleted. Monosomy 11 includes abnormally slow growth before and after birth
and/or to serve delays in the coordination of mental and muscular activity.
Characteristics include malformations of the head and face, abnormalities of
the eyes, hands, feet, bleeding and/or defects of the heart that are present at
birth.
According to National institution of Health, approximately 1 of 100,000 people are affected by the Jacobsen syndrome. Jacobsen syndrome occurs when there is a deletion at the end of an arm in the 11th chromosome. Also Parents began reporting that their kids who had the Jacobsen syndrome began to show "autism-like features". Every 2 years parents with their kids go to San Diego for the 11q conference to share with the people about the latest findings about the disorder. The conference was helpful for investigation research questions. The scientists have recruited 17 children; with the parents they asked them questions about their kids while the children were being observed.

So in short, Jacobsen Syndrome can change the appearance of a person
before birth. Ex: a baby born with short legs, short arms, etc. (see all the
examples below this text). Also it changes the appearance of the person like
for example it gives the person a wider mouth, big nose, slightly small eyes,
etc.

Jacobsen syndrome was discovered by Danish physician Petra
Jacobsen. It was discovered through genetic testing of children, thought to
have genetic disorders.
Facts about Jacobsen Syndrome:
· * It
is caused by the loss of the upper arm of chromosome 11
· * It
is usually caused through mutation during the early stages of birth
* There is no cure to Jacobsen Syndrome but there are
things that can be done to make this disorder safe. It includes heart surgery
and kidney repair the Jacobsen Syndrome has done.Sites:
