In Distal Trisomy 10q disorder, end or distal portion of the q (long) arm of the chromosome number 10 appears to be present three times, rather than two times as it is supposed to be. This extra arm results in chromosome 10 trisomy, meaning that three arms are present. Depending on the length of the aberrant arm, the severity can vary from case ...
Specialty. Medical genetics. 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. [2]
A small supernumerary marker chromosome ( sSMC) is an abnormal extra chromosome. It contains copies of parts of one or more normal chromosomes and like normal chromosomes is located in the cell's nucleus, is replicated and distributed into each daughter cell during cell division, and typically has genes which may be expressed.

Chromosome 10 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 10 spans about 134 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ) and represents between 4 and 4.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .
Chromosomal Mutation. Cri du chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder due to a partial chromosome deletion on chromosome 5. [ 1] Its name is a French term ("cat-cry" or "call of the cat") referring to the characteristic cat-like cry of affected children (sound sample [1] ). [ 2] It was first described by Jérôme Lejeune in 1963. [ 3]
Isochromosome. Isochromosome in which the arms are mirror copies of each other. An isochromosome is an unbalanced structural abnormality in which the arms of the chromosome are mirror images of each other. [ 1] The chromosome consists of two copies of either the long (q) arm or the short (p) arm because isochromosome formation is equivalent to ...
