Distal trisomy 10 is a rare chromosomal disorder that causes several physical defects and intellectual disability. [5] 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. In humans, there are 23 chromosomes, but ...
22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused by a tiny missing part of one of the body's 46 chromosomes – chromosome 22. 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome appears to be a recurrent genomic disorder distinct from 22q11.2 deletion syndrome also known as DiGeorge syndrome (DGS; 188400) and velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS; 192430).
10q26 deletion is an extremely rare genetic syndrome caused by terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 10 at 10q26. [1] It is usually a de novo mutation.Symptoms can include "growth and mental retardation, microcephaly, triangular face, strabismus, hypertelorism, prominent nasal bridge, beaked or prominent nose, low-set dysplastic ears, various congenital heart defects, cryptorchidism ...
1q21.1 duplication syndrome, also known as 1q21.1 microduplication, is an uncommon copy number variant associated with several congenital abnormalities, including developmental delay, dysmorphic traits, autism spectrum disorder, and congenital cardiac defects. [1] Common facial features include frontal bossing, hypertelorism, and macrocephaly.
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 ...
Medical genetics. 2p15-16.1 microdeletion is an extremely rare genetic disorder caused by a small deletion in the short arm of human chromosome 2. First described in two patients in 2007, [1] by 2013 only 21 [citation needed] people have been reported as having the disorder in the medical literature. [2][3][4][5]
Craniosynostosis, a condition in which the sutures of the head (joints between the bones of the skull) prematurely fuse and subsequently alter the shape of the head, is seen in multiple conditions, as listed below. The level of involvement varies by condition and can range from minor, single-suture craniosynostosis to major, multisutural ...
Genetics. Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome is a microdeletion syndrome caused by a deletion within HSA band 4p16.3 of the short arm of chromosome 4, particularly in the region of WHSCR1 and WHSCR2. [7] The phenotypic characteristics of WHS are thought to be caused by the haploinsufficiency of the genes Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1 (WHSC1 ...
