Abstract
Trisomy 18 syndrome (T18) is a clinical and genetic disorder, which has a full extra chromosome 18 in each cell, variant that is called free trisomy. In addition, it can occur in partial and mosaic form. It is characterized by intrauterine growth restriction, psychomotor and mental retardation, characteristic craniofacial findings, congenital heart disease, hypoplastic pelvis, clenched hand and rocker-bottom foot, among others. The mosaic T18 occurs when cells with T18 and normal cell lines exist in the same individual and correspond to 5% of cases. Trisomía 18 en mosaico. Serie de casos Mosaic trisomy 18. Series of cases The phenotypic findings are highly variable and no correlation was evident between the percentage of trisomic cells and the findings found. The aim of this report is to present a series of five cases of mosaic T18 with emphasis on clinical aspects in order to guide an interdisciplinary adequate medical care and provide timely genetic counseling.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 May 2017.
All research outputs
#16,725,651
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Archivos argentinos de pediatría
#237
of 810 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,460
of 330,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archivos argentinos de pediatría
#1
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 810 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,503 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
