The chromosomal abnormality is often present in just some cells, in which case it is known as Turner syndrome with mosaicism. [7] [8] 45,X0 with mosaicism can occur in males or females, [9] but Turner syndrome without mosaicism only occurs in females. [2] [6] Signs and symptoms vary among those affected. [1]
1p36 deletion syndrome is a congenital genetic disorder characterized by moderate to severe intellectual disability, delayed growth, hypotonia, seizures, limited speech ability, malformations, hearing and vision impairment, and distinct facial features. The symptoms may vary, depending on the exact location of the chromosomal deletion.
Chromosome abnormality. A chromosomal abnormality, chromosomal anomaly, chromosomal aberration, chromosomal mutation, or chromosomal disorder is a missing, extra, or irregular portion of chromosomal DNA. [1][2] These can occur in the form of numerical abnormalities, where there is an atypical number of chromosomes, or as structural ...
approximately 1 in 1,000 (female) Trisomy X, also known as triple X syndrome and characterized by the karyotype [note 1] 47,XXX, is a chromosome disorder in which a female has an extra copy of the X chromosome. It is relatively common and occurs in 1 in 1,000 females, but is rarely diagnosed; fewer than 10% of those with the condition know they ...
The Pallister–Killian syndrome (PKS), also termed tetrasomy 12p mosaicism or the Pallister mosaic aneuploidy syndrome, is an extremely rare and severe genetic disorder. PKS is due to the presence of an extra and abnormal chromosome termed a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC). sSMCs contain copies of genetic material from parts of ...
Chromosomal deletion syndrome. Chromosomal deletion syndromes result from deletion of parts of chromosomes. Depending on the location, size, and whom the deletion is inherited from, there are a few known different variations of chromosome deletions. Chromosomal deletion syndromes typically involve larger deletions that are visible using ...
Triploid syndrome. Triploid syndrome, also called triploidy, is a chromosomal disorder in which a fetus has three copies of every chromosome instead of the normal two. If this occurs in only some cells, it is called mosaic triploidy and is less severe. Most embryos with triploidy miscarry early in development.
Medical genetics. Monosomy 9p (also known as Alfi's Syndrome, 9p Minus or simply 9P-) is a rare chromosomal disorder in which some DNA is missing or has been deleted on the short arm region, "p", of one copy of chromosome 9 (9p22.2-p23). [1][2] This deletion either happens de novo or as a result of a parent having the chromosome abnormality. [3 ...
