“…Furthermore, although neither we nor Saller et al (1990) encountered any single umbilical arteries among our 35 and 18 cases, respectively, of trisomy 2 1, there have been reports of such an association being present (Dellenbach et al, 1968;Jean et al, 1969;Konstantinova, 1977;Bjoro, 1983;Leung and Robson, 1989). In addition to the cytogenetic abnormalities listed in this study, there is a wide range of aneuploidies, as documented in case reports, with which single umbilical artery can be associated, including trisomies 7 (Byrne and Blanc, 1985), 9 (Schwartz e f al., 1989), 14 (Lopez-Pajares et al, 1979), and 16 (Roberts and Duckett, 1978); 5p deletion (Bjoro, 1983); and unbalanced translocations such as 45, XY,21p21q (Van Zalen-Sprock et al, 1991). Thus, it is not possible to predict a particular karyotype when a single umbilical artery is encountered.…”
