As explained on the previous page structural variations in the genome has many effects and there are many different types of structural variations. Copy number variations is a big category of different structural variation types‚such as Insertions and deletions‚ which are genomic imbalances. There are also inversions and translocations.These structural variations are the cause of a vast range of genetic disorders. Insertions are the addition of a sequence of one or more nucleotides between two

many factors of worry are present. One is particular is the worry of a genital defect. As women age their percentile chance of having a baby with a genital defect changes drastically. Common genetic disorders are trisomy 13‚ Patau syndrome‚ trisomy 18‚ Edward’s syndrome‚ and trisomy 21‚ Down syndrome. Although these can be treatable if a baby lives to adult age they will have a long list of medical problems to live with. Genital defects in babies is directly linked to the rate at which abortions

Trisomy 21‚ Mosaic Down Syndrome‚ and Translocation Down Syndrome are three instances of abnormalities in chromosome 21 replication. At 95% prevalence among DS patients‚ Trisomy 21 is the possession of a third 21st chromosome causes the genes present to be expressed at different rates compared to non-DS cohorts.

Genetic Inheritance Silvia Phillips PSY 104 Professor Bennett April 7th‚ 2013 Genetic Inheritance Humans have diverged genetically since we emerged from Africa about 100‚000 years ago (Stearns & Koella‚ 2007). The impressive diversity of humans in the planet establishes that each human is unique in their traits and characteristics. Those traits describe our genotype‚ the complete inherited makeup of an organism (Mossler‚ 2011). The genes of both parents play a crucial role in the

Down Syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome 21. This results in intellectual disabilities‚ physical abnormalities‚ developmental delays and other language and non-language characteristics. However‚ these characteristics do not affect every person with Down Syndrome in the same way. Some may have a mild to moderate intellectual disability‚ while others may have a more severe intellectual disability. There are three types of Down Syndrome: Trisomy 21‚ Translocation Down syndrome‚ and Mosaic Down

These people will have a condition know as Trisomy 13. Trisomy 13 affects normal development. Some symptoms include small head‚ small eyes‚ seizures‚ low-set ears‚ and clenched hands. About 1 out of every 10‚000 newborns are born with this defect and about 80% of those diagnosed with it die in their first year. You can prevent Trisomy 13 by amniocentesis (study of the amniotic cells) before birth. Another problem that might occur in chromosome 21 is deletion. When this occurs a tumor may
