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 ] About 6% of miscarriages have trisomy 16. [ 3 ]
Karyotype of a human with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Trisomies can occur with any chromosome, but often result in miscarriage rather than live birth.For example, Trisomy 16 is most common in human pregnancies, occurring in more than 1%, but the only surviving embryos are those having some normal cells in addition to the trisomic cells (mosaic trisomy 16).

The extra chromosome content can arise through several different ways. The most common cause (about 92–95% of cases) is a complete extra copy of chromosome 21, resulting in trisomy 21. [91] [96] In 1–2.5% of cases, some of the cells in the body are normal and others have trisomy 21, known as mosaic Down syndrome.
The most frequent aneuploidy in humans is trisomy 16 and fetuses affected with the full version of this chromosome abnormality do not survive to term, although it is possible for surviving individuals to have the mosaic form, where trisomy 16 exists in some cells but not all.
Turner syndrome (TS), also known as 45,X, or 45,X0, is a genetic disorder in which cells have only one X chromosome or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome. [2][6][7] Most people have two sex ...
Chromosome 16 pair in human male karyogram. Chromosome 16 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 16 spans about 90 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents just under 3% of the total DNA in cells.
Trisomy 18 typically results in life-threatening complications for a baby, but one little girl, Georgia, is proof of how one can live with it. ... December 21, 2023 at 3:16 PM. Georgia Minor is ...
The most frequently seen trisomic cells in confined placental mosaicism involve chromosomes 2, 3, 7, 8 and 16. 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 ]
