Classification of genetic disorders • Single-gene disorders (2%) • Chromosome disorders (<1%) • Multifactorial disorders (60%)
Chromosome disorders • accounting for about half of all spontaneous first-trimester abortions • affecting about 1% liveborn infants • Chromosome Mutation • Genome Mutation
Chromosome Mutationabnormalities of chromosome structure • Unbalanced rearrangements (sick) deletions, duplications • Balanced rearrangements (healthy) inversions, translocations
Genome Mutationabnormalities of chromosome number due to nondisjunction(chance occurrence) euploid – an exact multiple of the haploid chromosome number • Aneuploidy– trisomy, monosomy • Polyploidy – triploid (3n), tetraploid (4n)
