Chromosomal Abnormalities Flashcards
Type of myxoploidy that came from the same zygote
Mosaicism
Causes of chromosomal abnormality
- misrepair in broken chromosome
- improper recombination
- malsegregation during mitosis and meiosis
Cause by Abnormal fertilization. Abnormal event during early embryo
Constitutional abnormalities
Not all cells are affected
Acquired or somatic abnormalities
Complete sets of chromosomes. Good set
Euploid
Multiple cell line coming from different zygote
Chimerism
Missing pair of homologs
. Chromosome 6
Nullisomy
One chromosome are missing
Monosomy
Extra chromosome
Trisomy
Example of polyploidy
Mosaic triploidy
All cells are affected
Constitutional abnormalities
Failure of paired chromosome to separate during anaphase 1
Nondysjunction
Nondysjunction in meiosis
Trisomic
Monosomic
Inverted segment is on the long or short arm. Do not involve the centromere
Paracentric
Nondysjunction in mitosis
Mosaicism
Result of a delayed movement during anaphase
Anaphase lag
This substance recognize and repair broken chromosome ends
Enzymes
Prevent cells with unpaired chromosome breaks from entering mitosis
Cell cycle checkpoint mechanism
An extra chromosomal segment within the same homologous chromosomes
Duplication
Example of duplication wherein chromosome 17 duplicates
Charcot marie tooth disease type 1A
Ring chromosome 13&14
Mental retardation
Dysmorphic facial features
Portion of the chromosome has broken off turned upside down and reattached
Inversions
Loss of a segment of a chromosome
Deletion
Telomere is missing
Terminal deletion
Two arms have fused together to form a ring
Ring chromosome
Ring chromosome 20
Epilepsy
Ring X chromosome
Turner syndrome
What causes ring chromosome
Deletion of two telomeres
Dense staining structure seen in the nuclei of a female mammals
Barr body
Missing or extra chromosome
Not a good set
Aneuploidy
