(F) Cytogenetic Disorders (transes-based) Flashcards
an abnormal chromosomal number or
alterations in structure of one or more
chromosomes results to?
disease
Definition of terms
Complete sets of chromosome with none
extra or missing
Euploidy
TOF. The normal human cells are haploid,
having two sets of 23 chromosomes
F (diploid)
one or more individual chromosomes are extra or missing from a euploid set
aneuploidy
Aneuploidy
Pair 6 chromosomes is an example of?
Nullisomy
Aneuploidy
Missing pair of homologs
Nullisomy
Aneuploidy
This occurs at preimplantation and can be lethal.
Nullisomy
Aneuploidy
One chromosome is missing
Monosomy
Aneuploidy
Occurs at embryonic stage and may be lethal.
Monosomy
TOF. Turner’s syndrome is an example of trisomy.
F (monosomy)
TOF. Triploidy has 3 set of chromosomes while trisomy only has two sets with one chromosome that has an extra copy.
T
Aneuploidy
Three copies of a particular
chromosome in an otherwise diploid cel
Trisomy
Aneuploidy
TOF. 47, XX or X,Y +21 is an example of triploidy.
F (trisomy)
TOF. Trisomy, similarly to monosomy, occurs at embryonic stage and may be lethal.
T
Trisomy 21 AKA
Down Syndrome
TOF. The incidence of livebirths with people with down syndrome are 1:7000 live births
F (1:700)
causes of down syndrome?
nondysjunction, translocation and mosaics
TOF. Trisomy 21 and Trisomy 13 have the same causes.
T
TOF. Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18 have the same causes.
F (walang translocation sa trisomy 18)
TOF. in trisomy 21, mosaicism is the most common cause.
F [nondisjunction 92.5-95% while Mosaicism (< 3%)]
TOF. The translocation as a cause of down syndrome is only 5%.
T
Specific Autosomal Aneu.
47,XX or XY + 21
Trisomy 21: Nondisjunction
Specific Autosomal Aneu.
46,XX or XY , der(14,21) (q10;q10) + 21
Trisomy 21: Translocation
Specific Autosomal Aneu.
○ 47,XX + 21/46,XX
○ 47,XY + 21/46,XY
Trisomy 21: Mosaicism
