About this trial
This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the hematological profile and determine the frequency and pattern of hematological abnormalities in children with numerical chromosomal disorders attending the Pediatric Department of Assiut University Children's Hospital.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Frequency of hematological abnormalities
Proportion of children with numerical chromosomal disorders who have one or more hematological abnormalities (anemia, macrocytosis, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, leukocytosis, or abnormal peripheral blood smear findings), expressed as percentage.
Secondary outcomes
Pattern of hematological abnormalities
Distribution and pattern of specific hematological abnormalities (anemia, macrocytosis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, etc.) among the studied children.
Hematological profile according to syndrome type
Comparison of hematological parameters (hemoglobin, MCV, platelet count, white blood cell count) among different numerical chromosomal disorders (Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and others).
Correlation of hematological abnormalities with clinical features
Correlation coefficient between the presence of hematological abnormalities and clinical features (recurrent infections, bleeding manifestations, hepatosplenomegaly), using Spearman or Pearson correlation as appropriate.
