Dear Rx, thanks for replying :

1- I am confused between Cystic Fibrosis and Down Syndrome ? ( what would your answer be between these two ) ?

2- i have been doing some research, They say in kaplan videos that the MOST COMMON (((TYPE))) of aneuploidy is :Autosomal trisomy ( trisomy in general, this includes down)

HOWEVER, the MOST COMMON ((( SINGLE ))) Aneuploidy is : Turner ... My head hurts ...

How do you comment on that ? i think that its imortant

thanks in advance

down is more common.i say this based on observation. how many turners have you seen in your life and how many downs. may be i m wrong



about MC genetic problem. g6pd ( i just read b/w) is in 10 percent african population. but i m sure there would be many other more common. i have never seen a CF patient may be its because we dont have it in this part of the world. (pakistan)



more input!
