The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of chromosomal alterations in Canis familiaris with clinical neoplasms. Twenty-five patients from a veterinary clinic in Lima, Peru in 2015-2016 were monitored. Blood samples were collected by venous puncture for peripheral blood culture and chromosomal analysis and were stored for 3 ± 1 hours maximum. Cytogenetic processing and conventional GTG banding were performed. The report was made according to the recommendations of the Committee for the Standardized Karyotype of the Dog. The average age was 9.5 years (4-17 years) and the racial groups with greater frequency were the mestizo (20%), Golden Retriever (16%) and Shi-tzu (11.5%). Chromosomal alterations were observed in 72% of the patients. Of these, 9 (36%) were trisomies, 9 (36%) constitutive heterochromatins, 2 (8%) translocations, 2 (8%) deletions and 1 (4%) ring chromos...

“Introducción: La infertilidad es una enfermedad multicausal y el componente genético representa uno de sus principales eventos. Si bien la distribución de la infertilidad puede variar entre poblaciones, las parejas de los países con bajos y medianos ingresos pueden verse más afectadas por la infertilidad, con una proporción de alteraciones citogenéticas aún no esclarecidas. Objetivo: Evaluar la frecuencia de alteraciones citogenéticas y su correlación con el número de abortos en pacientes peruanas con diagnóstico de infertilidad. Método: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en 400 pacientes de 18 a 60 años, de ambos sexos, con diagnóstico de infertilidad. Se registraron las características clínicas disponibles durante el examen genético y el análisis citogenético convencional fue con bandeo GTG en muestras de sangre periférica. El análisis de correlación ...

“Objective: Autosomal and sex chromosome aneuploidies are associated with multiple risk factors that determine their frequency and their social and health impact. We aimed to determine the clinical, phenotypic, and demographic characteristics of Peruvian children and neonates with autosomal and sex chromosome aneuploidies. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted on 510 pediatric patients. We conducted a cytogenetic analysis with G-bands by trypsin using Giemsa (GTG) banding, and the results were reported using the International System for Cytogenetics Nomenclature 2013 system. Results: Of 399 children (mean age 2.1 ± 4 years), 84 (16.47%) had aneuploidies, with 86.90% being autosomal (73.81% trisomies). In autosomal aneuploidies, 67.85% (n=57) of the children had Down syndrome where the most common cause was free trisomy 21 (52 cases, 61.91%), followed by Rober...
