  2. Distal trisomy 10q - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_trisomy_10q

    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 ...

  3. Chromosome 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_10

    in human male karyogram. Chromosome 10 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 10 spans about 134 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 4 and 4.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .

  4. Microdeletion syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdeletion_syndrome

    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).

  5. Confined placental mosaicism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confined_placental_mosaicism

    This trisomy is confined to the chorionic villus stroma. This type of mosaicism is described in normal pregnancies and is sometimes associated with delayed growth of the fetus. Type 3 CPM– Trisomic cells are seen in trophoblast cells and the villus stroma, but are absent in the embryo. This type of mosaicism is more commonly associated with ...

  6. DiGeorge syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiGeorge_syndrome

    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]

  7. Patau syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patau_syndrome

    Patau syndrome. Patau syndrome is a syndrome caused by a chromosomal abnormality, in which some or all of the cells of the body contain extra genetic material from chromosome 13. The extra genetic material disrupts normal development, causing multiple and complex organ defects. This can occur either because each cell contains a full extra copy ...

  8. Miller–Dieker syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Dieker_syndrome

    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 ...

  9. Cri du chat syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cri_du_chat_syndrome

    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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelman_syndrome

    1 in 12,000 to 20,000 people [6] Angelman syndrome ( AS) is a genetic disorder that mainly affects the nervous system. [6] Symptoms include a small head and a specific facial appearance, severe intellectual disability, developmental disability, limited to no functional speech, balance and movement problems, seizures, and sleep problems.

  11. Trisomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy

    Trisomy 9; Trisomy 8 (Warkany syndrome 2) Of these, Trisomy 21 and Trisomy 18 are the most common. In rare cases, a fetus with Trisomy 13 can survive, giving rise to Patau syndrome. Autosomal trisomy can be associated with birth defects, intellectual disability and shortened life expectancy. Trisomy of sex chromosomes can also occur and include:
