Almost 14,014 of these have been mapped to their chromosomal location and of these around 1,639 genes have been associated with human genetic disorders. Interestingly, the number of genes needed to make a human being is only double the number needed for apparently much simpler animals, such as fruit fly or a worm!Īround 22,000 genes have been identified to date.

The completion of the full human genome sequence, in February 2001, refined the estimated number of genes in the human genome to around 30,000. – About half of all miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities – Currently it is estimated one person in ten will be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by a genetic problem during their lifetime Unbalanced Translocation( 9:13) (q34 q12)ġ0q deletion q26.3 and 10p duplication (p15.1-p15.5)ġ1q dup attached to Chr 3,partial trisomy 11qĥ partial deletion and balanced translocation of 1ĥq partial duplication and inversion of 9Ĩp deletion p12,p21.3 interstitial de novoĨp duplication and congenital adrenal hyperplasia Unbalanced translocation partial trisomy2 de novo Unbalanced translocation 11 del and add on 5 Partial trisomy 1q (q42) and partial monosomy 12p The inheritance pattern then seen in the family is with the condition occurring from birth in brothers and sisters in multiple generations, but with the affected people connected through a normal carrier parent.Ĭryptic interstitial duplication 15(q11-q13) In other cases, particularly if the anomaly could result from a mutual swap-over of a whole section of two different chromosomes (a balanced translocation), the alteration can be inherited.
This means that in many cases, chromosomal conditions will present in a family with no previous history of the condition and often be limited to a child presenting with the problem - as for example in 95% of cases of Down syndrome. A child or adult with a chromosome anomaly will typically have significant learning difficulty and may also have a congenital abnormality in one or more body organs. Chromosomal conditions are most often associated with errors during meiosis, leading to an alteration in the number of chromosomes or to alterations in chromosome structure affecting all cells in the body.
