Chromosome 15, Distal Trisomy 15q is an extremely rare chromosomal disorder that is thought to affect males approximately twice as often as females. Since the disorder was originally described in the medical literature in 1974 (A. Fujimoto), more than 30 cases have been reported in the literature.
Mosaic trisomy 15 is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome principally characterized by intrauterine growth restriction, congenital cardiac anomalies (incl. ventricular and atrial septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus) and craniofacial dysmorphism (incl. hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, wide nasal bridge). Patients also present ...
When your body has an extra copy of a chromosome (trisomy), your body has 47 total chromosomes. Trisomy can result in a full-term baby but most often causes a miscarriage during the first three months of pregnancy.
Chromosome 15 is an acrocentric chromosome, with a very small short arm (the "p" arm, for "petite"), which contains few protein coding genes among its 19 million base pairs. It has a larger long arm (the "q" arm) that is gene rich, spanning about 83 million base pairs.
They're made up of DNA and packaged into strands called chromosomes. A person has 2 copies of all their genes, which means chromosomes come in pairs. Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). One of the chromosomes that belongs to pair number 15 is different in Prader-Willi syndrome.

Chromosome 15q11.2-13.1 duplication syndrome (dup15q syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder which results from duplications of a portion of the 15 chromosome. The portion involves a small region within the long arm (q), 15q11.2-13.1. These duplications most commonly occur in one of two forms.
Angelman syndrome is a condition caused by a change in a gene, called a genetic change. Angelman syndrome causes delayed development, problems with speech and balance, mental disability, and, sometimes, seizures. Many people with Angelman syndrome smile and laugh often. They tend to be happy and easy to excite.
Rarely, individuals with a very small number of trisomic cells found on prenatal testing can have very few to no medical issues and live a normal life span. It can also be called chromosome 15, trisomy mosaicism. The most common abbreviation for this disorder is Mosaic Ts15.
