            <description><![CDATA[ Chromosomes within a cell are arranged in sets. Each cell contains 46 chromosomes or 23 sets. <br />
Such sets of chromosomes are classified according to an international nomenclature: from the largest to the smallest, followed by sex-chromosomes. <br />
 <br />
As you can see, we have:<br />
two number 1 chromosomes,<br />
two number 2 chromosomes,<br />
two number 3 chromosomes,<br />
and so on for all sets.  <br />
<br />
 <br />
 In structural chromosomal alteracions  the  chromosomal distribution is correct but  a  chromosome  could be  defective because many things can happen to him.<br />
<br />
 All the things that can happen have different names. If it is missing a tiny part (this alteration  is known as &quot;deletion&quot;);............................ If it is..........<br />

Chromosomal alteracions in number occurs when  the inheritance received by the daughter cells is different between them as a result of an error in the distribution: some daughter cells receive more while others receive less chromosomes. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ AS YOU CAN SEE, more and more solutions become available, in order to be pregnant. Fertilization may occur inside or outside the female's body. For this purpose we employ a series of techniques known as ASSISTED REPRODUCTION TECHNIQUES, which allow us to modify or manipulate the union between the ovum and the sperm cell.<br />
<br />
Usually fertilization occurs inside the woman's body, in the Fallopian tubes, during the periovulatory period. The semen can be obtained from two different sources................................. <br />
<br />
If fertilization occurs outside the woman's body by means of assisted reproduction techniques, which are techniques that help the fertilization occur, we can use in vitro fertilization and spermatic microinjection.............................. <br />

The production of these substances may vary depending on whether the foetus is healthy or has certain pathology. Biochemical markers levels may also vary during the course of pregnancy, with some markers being only of any significant use if carried out during the first or second trimester. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Our genetic heritage is contained in the genes or recipes inside the chromosomes. Chromosomes are not rigid structures, but totally the contrary; they are changeable and susceptible to mutation. This allows them to interact with the environment; being able to adapt due to their own evolution and reset mechanisms. Thus, any faulty or inappropriate changes affecting their number, structure, content or expression, can give rise to malformations or disorders.  <br />

Congenital disorders may be caused by any of the following alterations: .........................................<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ We must remember that chromosomes are like cookbooks that contain our recipes. We receive these recipes in equal numbers from our progenitors at the time of fertilisation.<br />
 <br />
These recipes contain all our genetic information. That is they express our traits. They specify the colour of our eyes, the colour of our skin, the colour of our hair, the shape of our nose or our teeth, ears, nails, the shape of our fingers, our toes, and each and every element that make us up. <br />
 <br />
Sometimes the information we inherit is wrong and sometimes this can lead to an array of different pathological conditions that manifest as malformations or diseases. <br />
<br />
Sometimes, however, the information inherited is correct but for some reason throughout the course of our lives, it goes wrong ending in disease such as cancer. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ An ULTRASOUND or echography uses ultrasonography or &quot;sound waves&quot; as a diagnostic tool. An ultrasound sends waves to the foetus that bounce off internal foetal structures (thereby its name &quot;echo&quot;). It allows visualisation of the foetus in a TV-like viewing screen, providing internal as well as external images of the foetus. Internal and external malformations can be diagnosed based on different tissue densities. It works in the same way as radars in air traffic control or marine navigation. <br />
<br />
<br />
Given the constant progress being made in this field, it is now possible to explore the foetus in a bi-dimensional plane (2D) or in a three-dimensional plane, either in a static (3D) or in movement (4D).<br />
<br />
The use of this technique requires:<br />
<br />
1.- Highly qualified professionals in this field.<br />
2.- The use of devices equipped with the latest technology and approved by the competent regulatory authorities. <br />
