Presentation
We have shown that collagen type VI, alpha 2 (COL6A2,) S100 protein, beta polypeptide (neural), (S100B), and D21S44 are present in only one copy in both ring carriers, while CRYA1, CBS, D21S43, D21S42, D21S41, and D21S39 are present in two copies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present perinatal findings and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a prenatally detected sacrococcygeal teratoma associated with mosaic r(21). This is the first report of mosaic r(21) presenting with a fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma. [agris.fao.org]

Psychiatrical
- Behavior Disorder
Although some patients may have microcephaly, intellectual impairment (two thirds of patients) and behavioral disorders, there are few distinctive clinical features that aid identification of this syndrome. Dysmorphic features are not expected. [epilepsydiagnosis.org]
Treatment
A predisposition to infection in patients with ring chromosome 21 may be explained by hypogammaglobulinaemia and merit treatment with gammaglobulin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis [ 3 ] The survival of people with Down's syndrome has dramatically increased in the past few decades, largely as a result of improved surgical repair of congenital heart defects. [patient.info]
Etiology
Karyotype assessment is important to consider in all epilepsies where the etiology is uncertain as dysmorphic features may be subtle or not apparent. Karyotype examination should be extended to 50-100 mitoses to exclude mosaicism. [epilepsydiagnosis.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Incidence Down's syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders, affecting 1 in 650-1,000 [ 5 ]. The underlying genetic defect is trisomy 21 in 94% of cases. [patient.info]

To prevent exonucleolytic degradation, the breakpoint of chromosome 11p15.3 and 11q24.1 were reunited to form a ring, and the 11p15.3-pter fragment recombined with telomeric sequences of 21qter possibly through nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) that is [molecularcytogenetics.biomedcentral.com]
