aneuploidies

aneuploidies are chromosomal abnormalities that can lead to developmental disorders.

somatic aneuploidies occur in body cells and are often associated with cancer.

germline aneuploidies can be inherited and passed to offspring.

prenatal screening can detect aneuploidies such as down syndrome.

maternal age is a major risk factor for aneuploidies.

meiotic errors often cause aneuploidies in gametes.

some aneuploidies are compatible with life while others are lethal.

advanced maternal age increases the risk of fetal aneuploidies.

genetic counselors discuss aneuploidies with expecting parents.

chromosomal analysis helps identify specific aneuploidies.

miscarriages can result from chromosomal aneuploidies.

aneuploidies affect gene dosage and disrupt cellular balance.

research on aneuploidies has advanced our understanding of genetics.
