Changes to chromosome 21 include a missing segment of the chromosome in each cell (partial monosomy 21) and a circular structure called ring chromosome 21. A ring chromosome occurs when both ends of a broken chromosome are reunited. Duplication in amyloid precursor protein (APP) locus (duplicated segment varies in length but includes APP) on ...
A ring chromosome is an aberrant chromosome whose ends have fused together to form a ring. ... Ring chromosome 21: Short stature, microcephaly, reproductive abnormalities
The extra chromosome 21 material may also occur due to a Robertsonian translocation in 2–4% of cases. [91] [101] In this translocation Down syndrome, the long arm of chromosome 21 is attached to another chromosome, often chromosome 14. [102] In a male affected with Down syndrome, it results in a karyotype of 46XY,t(14q21q).
Ring chromosome 22, also known as ring 22, is a rare chromosomal disorder. ... Ring chromosomes 21 and 22 were first identified in 1970. At the time, ...
Humans have five of these acrocentric chromosomes: 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22. When these chromosomes break at their centromeres, the two resulting long arms may fuse. The result is a single, large chromosome with a metacentric centromere. This form of rearrangement is a Robertsonian translocation. [citation needed]

Reciprocal translocation: Segments from two different chromosomes have been exchanged. Robertsonian translocation: An entire chromosome has attached to another at the centromere - in humans, these only occur with chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22. Rings: A portion of a chromosome has broken off and formed a circle or ring. This happens with or ...
Notice the three copies of 21q (two chromosomes 21 and the long arm of chromosome 21 fused to the short arm of a chromosome 14). The extra chromosome 21 material that causes Down syndrome may be due to a Robertsonian translocation. The long arm of chromosome 21 is attached to the long arm of another chromosome, often chromosome 14 [46,XX,t(14 ...
