Full trisomy 9 is a rare and fatal chromosomal disorder caused by having three copies of chromosome number 9.It can be a viable condition if the trisomic component affects only part of the cells of the body or in cases of partial trisomy of the short arm (trisomy 9p) in which cells have a normal set of two entire chromosomes 9 plus part of a third copy of the short arm ("p") of the chromosome.
The most common aneuploidy that infants can survive with is trisomy 21, which is found in Down syndrome, affecting 1 in 800 births. Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) affects 1 in 6,000 births, and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) affects 1 in 10,000 births. 10% of infants with trisomy 18 or 13 reach 1 year of age. [9]

The number of chromosomes in the cell where trisomy occurs is represented as, for example, 2n+1 if one chromosome shows trisomy, 2n+1+1 if two show trisomy, etc. [2] "Full trisomy", also called "primary trisomy", [2] means that an entire extra chromosome has been copied. "Partial trisomy" means that there is an extra copy of part of a chromosome.
Isodicentric 15, also called marker chromosome 15 syndrome, [2] idic(15), partial tetrasomy 15q, or inverted duplication 15 (inv dup 15), is a chromosome abnormality in which a child is born with extra genetic material from chromosome 15. People with idic(15) are typically born with 47 chromosomes in their body cells, instead of the normal 46.
Individuals with PKS present prenatally or at birth with multiple birth defects.These defects include: brain atrophy, agenesis of the corpus callosum, polymicrogyria of the brain, and/or spot calcifications in the brain's lateral sulcus; deafness and/or blindness; autonomic nervous system dysfunctions such as anhidrosis, hypohidrosis, and/or episodic spells of hyperventilation interspersed ...
MDS is a microdeletion syndrome involving loss of the gene PAFAH1B1 on chromosome 17 which is responsible for the syndrome's characteristic sign of lissencephaly.The loss of another gene, YWHAE, in the same region of chromosome 17 increases the severity of the lissencephaly in patients with Miller–Dieker syndrome.
Trisomy 22 is a chromosomal disorder in which three copies of chromosome 22 are present rather than two. It is a frequent cause of spontaneous abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy . Progression to the second trimester and live births are rare.
