This informative guide delves into various chromosomal abnormalities, including Down Syndrome, Jacob's Syndrome, Patau's Syndrome, Turner’s Syndrome, Klinefelter’s Syndrome, Cri du Chat, Edward’s Syndrome, Treacher Collins Syndrome, and associated conditions like cleft palate. Each syndrome is characterized by specific genetic mutations, such as Treacher Collins syndrome caused by a gene mutation on Chromosome 5. This condition is autosomal dominant, requiring only one parent to pass on the abnormal gene. Gain insights into these genetic conditions and their implications for affected individuals.
