These changes include an extra copy of part of chromosome 7 in each cell (partial trisomy 7) or a missing segment of the chromosome in each cell (partial monosomy 7). In some cases, several DNA building blocks ( nucleotides ) are deleted or duplicated in part of chromosome 7.
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.
18p-, also known as monosomy 18p, deletion 18p syndrome, del(18p) syndrome, partial monosomy 18p, or de Grouchy syndrome 1, is a genetic condition caused by a deletion of all or part of the short arm (the p arm) of chromosome 18.
Chromosome 15q partial deletion is a rare human genetic disorder, caused by a chromosomal aberration in which the long ("q") arm of one copy of chromosome 15 is deleted, or partially deleted. [1] Like other chromosomal disorders, this increases the risk of birth defects, developmental delay and learning difficulties, however, the problems that ...
HLHS is also associated with several genetic syndromes, including trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), partial trisomy 9, Turner's syndrome (XO), Jacobsen syndrome (11q deletion syndrome), Holt-Oram syndrome, and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. [15] [18]
Cat eye syndrome (Schmid Fraccaro syndrome) [6] is a condition caused by a partial trisomy or tetrasomy in chromosome 22. A small extra chromosome is found, made up of the top half of chromosome 22 and a portion of the q arm at the q11.2 break.
Complete trisomy 8 causes severe abnormalities on the developing fetus and can be a cause of miscarriage. [2] [3] Complete trisomy 8 is usually a gestational lethal condition, whereas trisomy 8 mosaicism is less severe and individuals with a low proportion of affected cells may exhibit a comparatively mild range of physical abnormalities and developmental delay.

Human conditions due to monosomy: Turner syndrome – Females with Turner syndrome typically have one X chromosome instead of the usual two X chromosomes. Turner syndrome is the only full monosomy that is seen in humans — all other cases of full monosomy are lethal and the individual will not survive development.
