Monosomy 9p (also known as Alfi's Syndrome 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]
1q21.1 copy number variations (CNVs) [1] are rare aberrations of human chromosome 1 . In a common situation a human cell has one pair of identical chromosomes on chromosome 1. With the 1q21.1 CNVs one chromosome of the pair is not complete because a part of the sequence of the chromosome is missing, or overcomplete, because some parts of the ...
1 in 85,000 to 100,000. 49,XXXXY syndrome is an extremely rare aneuploidic sex chromosomal abnormality. It occurs in approximately 1 out of 85,000 to 100,000 males. [1] [2] [3] This syndrome is the result of maternal non-disjunction during both meiosis I and II. [4] It was first diagnosed in 1960 and was coined Fraccaro syndrome after the ...
Ring chromosome 14 syndrome. Formation of a ring chromosome. Ring chromosome 14 syndrome is a very rare human chromosome abnormality. It occurs when one or both of the telomeres that mark the ends of chromosome 14 are lost allowing the now uncapped ends to fuse together forming a ring chromosome. It causes a number of serious health issues.
Trisomy 16 is a chromosomal abnormality in which there are 3 copies of chromosome 16 rather than two. [1] It is the most common trisomy leading to miscarriage and the second most common chromosomal cause of it, closely following X-chromosome monosomy. [2] About 6% of miscarriages have trisomy 16. [3] Those mostly occur between 8 and 15 weeks ...
Down syndrome or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. [3] It is usually associated with developmental delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and characteristic physical features. [1] [12] There are three types of Down syndrome, the ...
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 birth are rare. This disorder is found in individuals with an extra copy or a variation of chromosome 22 in ...
Cri du chat syndrome. Cri du chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder due to a partial chromosome deletion on chromosome 5. [1] Its name is a French term ("cat-cry" or "call of the cat") referring to the characteristic cat-like cry of affected children (sound sample [1] ). [2] It was first described by Jérôme Lejeune in 1963. [3]
