In some cases, the signs and symptoms are similar to those of Down syndrome. Changes to chromosome 21 include a missing segment of the chromosome in each cell (partial monosomy 21) and a circular structure called ring chromosome 21. A ring chromosome occurs when both ends of a broken chromosome are reunited.
Human genetic disorders can be caused by ring chromosome formation. Although ring chromosomes are very rare, they have been found in all human chromosomes. Symptoms seen in patients carrying ring chromosomes are more likely to be caused by the deletion of genes in the telomeric regions of affected chromosomes, rather than by the formation of a ring structure itself.

A karyotype of an individual with trisomy 21, showing three copies of chromosome 21. An abnormal number of chromosomes is known as aneuploidy, and occurs when an individual is either missing a chromosome from a pair (resulting in monosomy) or has more than two chromosomes of a pair (trisomy, tetrasomy, etc.).
The urban legend says that in 1981, when new arcade games were uncommon, an unheard-of arcade game appeared in several suburbs of Portland, Oregon. The game was popular to the point of addiction , [ 2 ] with lines forming around the machines and often resulting in fights over who would play next.
Ring chromosome 14 syndrome is a very rare human chromosome abnormality. It occurs when one or both of the telomeres that mark the ends of chromosome 14 are lost, allowing the now uncapped ends to fuse together – thus forming a ring chromosome. It causes a number of serious health issues. [1] [3] [4]
Ring chromosome 20, ring-shaped chromosome 20 or r(20) syndrome is a rare human chromosome abnormality where the two arms of chromosome 20 fuse to form a ring chromosome. The syndrome is associated with epileptic seizures , behaviour disorders and intellectual disability.
When I was a kid (back in the stone age, aka the early 80s), I dreamed of someday owning my own coin-op arcade games. Or maybe just living in an arcade; that would've been fine, too.
Ring chromosome 22, also known as ring 22, is a rare chromosomal disorder. Ring chromosomes occur when the ends of a chromosome lose material and fuse into a ring shape; in the case of ring 22, this occurs for chromosome 22 , the last numbered human autosome .
