A genetic region on the short (p) arm of chromosome 16 at a place known as p11.2 is duplicated in individuals with a 16p11.2 duplication. It is sufficient for a duplication in one copy of chromosome 16 in each cell to generate the disease since 16p11.2 duplications follow an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. [3]
Chromosome 16. Trisomy 16 is a chromosomal abnormality in which there are 3 copies of chromosome 16 rather than two. [1] It is the most common autosomal trisomy leading to miscarriage, and the second most common chromosomal cause (closely following X-chromosome monosomy). [2]
16p11.2 deletion syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused by microdeletion on the short arm of chromosome 16. Most affected individuals experience global developmental delay and intellectual disability, as well as childhood-onset obesity. [1] 16p11.2 deletion is estimated to account for approximately 1% of autism spectrum disorder cases. [3] [4]

Trisomy 8 (Warkany syndrome 2) Of these, Trisomy 21 and Trisomy 18 are the most common. In rare cases, a fetus with Trisomy 13 can survive, giving rise to Patau syndrome. Autosomal trisomy can be associated with birth defects, intellectual disability and shortened life. Trisomy of sex chromosomes can also occur and include: [4] XXX (Triple X ...
2p15-16.1 microdeletion is an extremely rare genetic disorder caused by a small deletion in the short arm of human chromosome 2. First described in two patients in 2007, [1] by 2013 only 21 [citation needed] people have been reported as having the disorder in the medical literature. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Potocki–Lupski syndrome (PTLS), also known as dup(17)p11.2p11.2 syndrome, trisomy 17p11.2 or duplication 17p11.2 syndrome, is a contiguous gene syndrome involving the microduplication of band 11.2 on the short arm of human chromosome 17 (17p11.2). [1] The duplication was first described as a case study in 1996. [2]
