  • This study was carried out to review and evaluate a total of 2,463 cases of human chromosomal analysis at Kwangju Christian Hospital from 1974 to 2004. We collected 2.0-3.0ml of human peripheral blood in heparized bottle. Then, we cultured it for 72 hours. We performed GTG-banding and chromosomal kayotyping analysis by Cytovision kayotyping system. Abnormal karyotypes were observed in 30.5% of the total cases (750/2,463). Autosome and sex chromosome anomalies were observed in 25.8% (635/2,463) and 4.7% (115/2,463) respectively. In a total of 2463 cases, there were 522 (22.4%) cases of Down's syndrome karyotype, and 67 (2.7%) cases of Turner syndrome. In conclusion, Down's syndrome has decreased after the end of the 1990s, but other (Turner syndrome et al.) chromosomal abnormal cases haven't decreased after the1970s.
