The relevant clinical data, important investigations and blood samples where collected. A conventional cytogenetic study was performed on the 24 selected patients.Results:
Out of 24 patients 1 patient showed a chromosomal abnormality in the form of trisomy 21.Conclusion:
Hence the present study was carried out as a Continued research on the genetic cause of congenital heart diseases and to augment our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the normal and abnormal development of the cardiac structures.
