Full trisomy 9 is a rare and fatal chromosomal disorder caused by having three copies of chromosome number 9.It can be a viable condition if the trisomic component affects only part of the cells of the body or in cases of partial trisomy of the short arm (trisomy 9p) in which cells have a normal set of two entire chromosomes 9 plus part of a third copy of the short arm ("p") of the chromosome.
Diploid-triploid mosaicism is a human chromosome disorder. Individuals with diploid-triploid syndrome have some cells with three copies of each chromosome for a total of 69 chromosomes (called triploid cells) and some cells with the usual 2 copies of each chromosome for a total of 46 chromosomes (called diploid cells).

As there is no treatment for triploidy, palliative care is given if a baby survives to birth. If triploidy is diagnosed during the pregnancy, termination is often offered as an option due to the additional health risks for the mother (pre-eclampsia, a life-threatening condition, or choriocarcinoma, a type of cancer). Should a mother decide to ...
Gonosomal mosaicism is a type of somatic mosaicism that occurs very early in the organisms development and thus is present within both germline and somatic cells. [1] [22] Somatic mosaicism is not generally inheritable as it does not usually affect germ cells. In the instance of gonosomal mosaicism, organisms have the potential to pass the ...

In humans this may refer to: 45, X, also known as Turner syndrome; 45,X/46,XY mosaicism, also known as X0/XY mosaicism and mixed gonadal dysgenesis; 46, XX/XY; 47, XXX, also known as trisomy X or triple X syndrome; 47, XXY, also known as Klinefelter syndrome; 47, XYY, also known as Jacobs syndrome; 48, XXXX, also known as tetrasomy X; 48, XXXY ...
She and Doyle had genetic testing done, and were told that the fetus had tested positive for trisomy 21, a type of Down syndrome, a condition in which individuals have an extra copy of a chromosome.
