  2. Trisomy 9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy_9

    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 ( mosaicism ) or in cases of partial trisomy of the short arm (trisomy 9p) in which cells have a normal set of two entire chromosomes 9 ...

    The next frequently involved are 9, 13, 15, 18, 20 and 22. [8] It has been observed that CPM involving the sex chromosomes usually has no adverse effects on fetal development. [9] The common autosomal trisomies (21, 18, 13) made up a smaller number of cases of mosaicism detected on CVS, but were more often confirmed in fetal tissue (19%). [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_(genetics)

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploid-triploid_mosaicism

    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).

    Of all trisomy 21 pregnancies, approximately 80% end in spontaneous abortions or still-births. 1–5% of people diagnosed with having Down Syndrome are actually in fact "high-grade" trisomy 21 mosaics. The rest of trisomy 21 mosaics are marked as "low-grade" mosaics, meaning the chromosomal mutation occurs in less than 3–5% of respective tissue.

    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.

    Trisomy 18 is a fatal chromosomal condition that can be detected during pregnancy.It's also at the center of a new legal case in Texas, where a mom of two, Kate Cox, is seeking an abortion after ...

  9. Karyotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype

    Down syndrome, a common chromosomal disease, is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21. Patau syndrome is caused by trisomy of chromosome 13. Trisomy 9, believed to be the 4th most common trisomy, has many long lived affected individuals but only in a form other than a full trisomy, such as trisomy 9p syndrome or mosaic trisomy 9. They often ...
