Distal trisomy 10 is a rare chromosomal disorder that causes several physical defects and intellectual disability. Humans, like all sexually reproducing species, have somatic cells that are in diploid [2N] state, meaning that N represent the number of chromosomes, and 2 the number of their copies.
Distal 18q-is a genetic condition caused by a deletion of genetic material within one of the two copies of chromosome 18. The deletion involves the distal section of 18q and typically extends to the tip of the long arm of chromosome 18.
Common variations in the BCL9 gene, which is in the distal area, confer risk of schizophrenia and may also be associated with bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. [4] Research is done on 10-12 genes on 1q21.1 that produce DUF1220 -locations.
The most frequent reported symptoms in patients with 22q11.2 duplication syndrome are intellectual disability /learning disability (97% of patients), delayed psychomotor development (67% of patients), growth retardation (63% of patients) and muscular hypotonia (43% of patients). [1] However, these are common and relatively non-specific ...
DiGeorge syndrome, also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is a syndrome caused by a microdeletion on the long arm of chromosome 22. [7] While the symptoms can vary, they often include congenital heart problems, specific facial features, frequent infections, developmental disability, intellectual disability and cleft palate. [7]
These individuals may have more severe disease than those with isolated monosomy of 5p. A recent study suggests this may not be the case where a trisomy of chromosome 4q is involved. Most cases involve total loss of the most distal 10–20% of the material on the short arm.

"Partial trisomy" means that there is an extra copy of part of a chromosome. "Secondary trisomy" - the extra chromosome has quadruplicated arms (the arms are identical; it is an "isochromosome"). "Tertiary trisomy" - the extra chromosome is made up of copies of arms from two other chromosomes.
Full. Full tetrasomy of an individual occurs due to non-disjunction when the cells are dividing ( meiosis I or II) to form egg and sperm cells ( gametogenesis ). This can result in extra chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell. After fertilization, the resulting fetus has 48 chromosomes instead of the typical 46.
Deletion on a chromosome. In genetics, a deletion (also called gene deletion, deficiency, or deletion mutation) (sign: Δ) is a mutation (a genetic aberration) in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is left out during DNA replication. Any number of nucleotides can be deleted, from a single base to an entire piece of chromosome. [1]
