3D Models of Human Embryos with Abnormal Karyotype

 

 All the HDBR embryos are genotyped at collection. The majority of the samples reflect the 46XX or 46 XY karyotype, however a small percentage are found to be karyotypically abnormal.

The movies below show 3D models of karyotypically abnormal human embryos.

Triploidy

   
Sample 676 CS13 - Karyotype 69, XXY   Sample 1235 CS16 - Karyotype 69, XXX   Sample 675 CS17 - Karyotype 69, XXX
This embryo has a marked neural tube defect.    

 

Down's Syndrome

   
Sample 729 CS11 - Karyotype 47, XX+21 Sample 221 CS17 - Karyotype 47, XY +21
  This embryo has a very immature heart.

 

Turner's Syndrome

   
Sample 938 CS14 - Karyotype 45X Sample 904 CS16 - Karyotype 45X
 

 

Normal karyotype with neural tube defect

   
Sample 354 CS13 - Karyotype 46, XX   Sample 274 CS13 - Karyotype 46, XY   Sample 205 CS19 - Karyotype 46, XX
