Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

Las alteraciones cromosómicas ocurren con una frecuencia de 1 por cada 150 recién nacidos vivos, generalmente no son hereditarias y la mayoría se caracteriza por expresar complejos fenotipos constituidos por malformaciones congénitas asociadas a retardo mental. Entre los portadores de alteraciones numéricas, aquellos con un cromosoma extra son los más frecuentes; las monosomías totales son incompatibles con la vida, excepto la del cromosoma X. Se presenta el caso de una niña de trece días de vida, internada en el servicio de pediatría del Hospital Central del Instituto de Previsión Social, por un cuadro de ictericia, cianosis y distress respiratorio, que ingresa a incubadora con oxígeno. Al examen físico presentó malformaciones congénitas diversas, con sospecha clínica de ser portadora de Síndrome de Turner. Se solicita el estudio cromosómico, el cual es realizado en sangre periférica, observándose en el 5% (3/60) de las células analizadas una deleción de todo el brazo largo de uno de los cromosomas del par 9, en mosaico. El cariotipo resultó 46,XX,[57]/46,XX,del(9)(q11.1à qter)[3]. Se resalta la necesidad de realizar el estudio cromosómico en recién nacidos con malformaciones diversas, para descartar o confirmar el diagnóstico presuntivo, a fin de tomar las medidas de tratamiento pertinentes y brindar el asesoramiento genético adecuado a los padres.
