G-banding patterns of human chromosome 10 in three different resolutions (400, [11] 550 [12] and 850 [3]). Band length in this diagram is based on the ideograms from ISCN (2013). [ 13 ] This type of ideogram represents actual relative band length observed under a microscope at the different moments during the mitotic process .
Distal trisomy 10 is a rare chromosomal disorder that causes several physical defects and intellectual disability. [ 5 ] Humans, like all sexually reproducing species, have somatic cells that are in diploid [ 2N ] state, meaning that N represent the number of chromosomes , and 2 the number of their copies.
The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child. There are over 6,000 known genetic disorders in humans.
Known human disorders include Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 1A, which may be caused by duplication of the gene encoding peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) on chromosome 17. Inversions : A portion of the chromosome has broken off, turned upside down, and reattached, therefore the genetic material is inverted.
10q26 deletion is an extremely rare genetic syndrome caused by terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 10 at 10q26. [1] It is usually a de novo mutation.Symptoms can include "growth and mental retardation, microcephaly, triangular face, strabismus, hypertelorism, prominent nasal bridge, beaked or prominent nose, low-set dysplastic ears, various congenital heart defects, cryptorchidism ...
Klinefelter syndrome (KS), also known as 47,XXY, is a chromosome anomaly where a male has an extra X chromosome. [10] These complications commonly include infertility and small, poorly functioning testicles (if present).
Trisomy X, also known as triple X syndrome and characterized by the karyotype [note 1] 47,XXX, is a chromosome disorder in which a female has an extra copy of the X chromosome. It is relatively common and occurs in 1 in 1,000 females, but is rarely diagnosed; fewer than 10% of those with the condition know they have it.
Females with one affected X chromosome and one normal X chromosome tend to have milder symptoms. Unlike many other types of intellectual disability, the genetics of these conditions are relatively well understood. [2] [3] It has been estimated there are ~200 genes involved in this syndrome; of these ~100 have been identified. [4]
