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 ...
The Pallister–Killian syndrome (PKS), also termed tetrasomy 12p mosaicism or the Pallister mosaic aneuploidy syndrome, is an extremely rare and severe genetic disorder. PKS is due to the presence of an extra and abnormal chromosome termed a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC). sSMCs contain copies of genetic material from parts of ...
Patau syndrome is a syndrome caused by a chromosomal abnormality, in which some or all of the cells of the body contain extra genetic material from chromosome 13. The extra genetic material disrupts normal development, causing multiple and complex organ defects.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG) Congenital hyperinsulinism. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) Conjoined twins. Costello syndrome.
List of genetic disorders 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.
The terms "partial monosomy" and "partial trisomy" are used to describe an imbalance of genetic material caused by loss or gain of part of a chromosome. In particular, these terms would be used in the situation of an unbalanced translocation, where an individual carries a derivative chromosome formed through the breakage and fusion of two ...
Cat-eye syndrome (CES) or Schmid–Fraccaro syndrome is a rare condition caused by an abnormal extra chromosome, i.e. a small supernumerary marker chromosome. [2] This chromosome consists of the entire short arm and a small section of the long arm of chromosome 22. In consequence, individuals with the cat-eye syndrome have three ( trisomic) or four ( tetrasomic) copies of the genetic material ...
Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome ( WHS) is a chromosomal deletion syndrome resulting from a partial deletion on the short arm of chromosome 4 [del (4) (p16.3)]. [3] Features include a distinct craniofacial phenotype and intellectual disability .
