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 ...
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.
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 .
Deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 5 results in Cri du chat syndrome. [1] Deletions in the SMN-encoding gene cause spinal muscular atrophy, the most common genetic cause of infant death. Microdeletions are associated with many different conditions, including Angelman Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome, and DiGeorge Syndrome. [10]

Chromosome 5q deletion syndrome is an acquired, hematological disorder characterized by loss of part of the long arm (q arm, band 5q33.1) of human chromosome 5 in bone marrow myelocyte cells. This chromosome abnormality is most commonly associated with the myelodysplastic syndrome .

In a large population-based study, [5] 1 in 292 people in the general population had this deletion. While the deletion was over-represented in cases vs controls (1 in 126 cases had the deletion) suggesting that it likely does contribute to neurodevelopmental problems in some individuals, the penetrance is likely to be very low.
