ABSTRACT
Nuclear chromatine of peripheral blood lymphocytes was studied in 13 women with children suffering from Down's syndrome using optic structural computer analysis. In 12 cases significant increase of nuclear roundness coefficient was determined. Deformation coefficient was determined for heterochromatine structures in 8 cases. Integral optic density of nuclear chromatine was significantly decreased in 12 women. This indicates the reduction of felgen-positive material due to deficiency of its compact fraction (in 11 cases). The activity of lymphocyte cytoplasmic lactate, alpha-glycerophosphate and succinate dehydrogenases (SDG) was studied morphocytochemically in 5 women who had children with the disease. High activity of mitochondrial SDG was determined in all cases which probably indicates disorders in lymphocyte energy state. This is one of the reasons for retention of risk pregnancy. Further research in this area may serve as a base for complete cytoanalysis in order to distinguish risk groups among women including primagravida for consequent determination of embryonal karyotype.
