  2. Distal 18q- - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_18q-

    Distal 18q-is a genetic condition caused by a deletion of genetic material within one of the two copies of chromosome 18. [1] The deletion involves the distal section of 18q and typically extends to the tip of the long arm of chromosome 18.

  3. Trisomy 18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy_18

    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 ]

  4. Proximal 18q- - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_18q-

    Proximal 18q-is a rare genetic condition caused by a deletion of genetic material within one of the two copies of chromosome 18. This deletion involves the proximal (near the centromere ) section of the long arm of chromosome 18 somewhere between 18q11.2 (18.9 Mb) to 18q21.1 (43.8 Mb). [ 1 ]

  5. Chromosome 18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_18

    Chromosome 18 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 18 spans about 80 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ) and represents about 2.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .

  6. 18p- - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18p-

    18p-, also known as monosomy 18p, deletion 18p syndrome, del(18p) syndrome, partial monosomy 18p, or de Grouchy syndrome 1, is a genetic condition caused by a deletion of all or part of the short arm (the p arm) of chromosome 18. It occurs in about 1 of every 50,000 births.

  8. Pallister–Killian syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallister–Killian_syndrome

    PKS is caused by an sSMC that consists of two copies or, less commonly, four copies of the genetic material in the p arm of chromosome 12. [1] [3] Recent studies in two individuals with PKS found their sSMCs consisted specifically of genetic material located in a stretch of chromosome 12 's p arm starting at its band 11 and running to its end.

  9. Ring chromosome 18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_chromosome_18

    The ring is formed when the caps on both the long arm (q) and the short arm (p) of one copy of chromosome 18 are lost and the new ends re-join to form the ring. Because the ring involves deletions of both the long arm (18q-) and the short arm (18p-) of chromosome 18, individuals with ring 18 can have features of both 18p-as well as distal 18q-.
