Any diagnostic reports that indicate to us regarding the problem with genetics and chromosomes the first and foremost thing that comes to our mind is the question asked above: are they permanent or temporary? Is it curable? How long is it going to stay in the body? Is it like any other disease or infection? […]

The 3q29 deletion syndrome occurs by deletion of some portion from the q arm of chromosome 3 results in phenotypic alterations. Chromosome 3 is the largest metacentric chromosome, comprises 200 million base pairs which represent 6.5% of total genomic content. Deletions are chromosome defects that occur when a part of a chromosome from either of

The dicentric chromosome is a highly uncommon event that occurs in the genome which causes genomic instability and cancer. We have written many articles on common chromosome aberrations or chromosomal abnormalities such as a change in number, deletion, duplication and translocation. These are common, studied well and can be identified easily using the conventional karyotyping

Double monosomy is the aberrant chromosomal condition commonly found in the plant genome but so rare in the human genome. Chromosomal aberrations or defects we can say, are classified broadly into aneuploidies. The monosomy is a kind of aneuploidy in which a single chromosome from a pair is missing. Meaning, that instead of normal 46

A ring chromosome is formed when the ends of the same chromosome fuse together and make a ring-like structure. Chromosome ring formation is associated with certain health-related conditions. Broad two categorize of chromosome aberrations or chromosome abnormalities are structural and numerical aberrations. When any event alters the structure of a chromosome greatly is referred to
