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.
At present, treatment for distal 18q- is symptomatic, meaning the focus is on treating the signs and symptoms of the conditions as they arise. To ensure early diagnosis and treatment, people with distal 18q- are suggested to undergo routine screenings for thyroid, hearing, and vision problems.
Chromosome 5q deletion syndrome is an acquired, hematological disorder characterized by loss of part of the long arm ( q arm, band 5q33.1) of human chromosome 5 in bone marrow myelocyte cells. This chromosome abnormality is most commonly associated with the myelodysplastic syndrome .
Jacobsen syndrome. Jacobsen syndrome. Other names. Del (11) (qter), distal deletion 11q, distal monosomy 11q, monosomy 11qter. A girl displaying characteristic facial features of Jacobsen syndrome. Specialty. Medical genetics. Jacobsen syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder resulting from deletion of genes from chromosome 11 that includes band ...
Microdeletion syndrome. A microdeletion syndrome is a syndrome caused by a chromosomal deletion smaller than 5 million base pairs (5 Mb) spanning several genes that is too small to be detected by conventional cytogenetic methods or high resolution karyotyping (2–5 Mb). [1] [2] Detection is done by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
Based on symptoms and genetic testing: Differential diagnosis: Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome, Alagille syndrome, VACTERL, Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum: Treatment: Involves many healthcare specialties: Prognosis: Depends on the specific symptoms: Frequency: 1 in 4,000
Miller–Dieker syndrome, Miller–Dieker lissencephaly syndrome (MDLS), and chromosome 17p13.3 deletion syndrome [1] is a micro deletion syndrome characterized by congenital malformations. Congenital malformations are physical defects detectable in an infant at birth which can involve many different parts of the body including the brain ...
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]
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]
Treatment. The condition is incurable and treatment is based on alleviating symptoms. Epidemiology. C15 trisomy affects twice as many males as females. Fewer than 50 cases have been reported. See also. Chromosome 15q partial deletion; References
