The number of chromosomes in the cell where trisomy occurs is represented as, for example, 2n+1 if one chromosome shows trisomy, 2n+1+1 if two show trisomy, etc. [2] "Full trisomy", also called "primary trisomy", [2] means that an entire extra chromosome has been copied. "Partial trisomy" means that there is an extra copy of part of a chromosome.
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.
Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of a third copy of all or part of chromosome 18. [3] Many parts of the body are affected. [ 3 ] Babies are often born small and have heart defects . [ 3 ]
Trisomy 21 – Down syndrome, an example of a polysomy at chromosome 21 Polysomy is a condition found in many species, including fungi, plants, insects, and mammals, in which an organism has at least one more chromosome than normal, i.e., there may be three or more copies of the chromosome rather than the expected two copies.

1p36 deletion syndrome is a congenital genetic disorder characterized by moderate to severe intellectual disability, delayed growth, hypotonia, seizures, limited speech ability, malformations, hearing and vision impairment, and distinct facial features.
Trisomy 21, one of the three types of Down syndrome, indicates that an individual has a duplicate of chromosome 21. The extra chromosome changes how one’s brain and body develop, and can lead to ...
Monosomy, with the presence of only one chromosome (instead of the typical two in humans) from a pair, which affects chromosome 14. Fetuses with monosomy 14 are not viable. [1]
