CHROMOSOMAL MUTATIONAL DISORDER
Autosomal Aneuploidy : (Change in no.)

1. Down's Syndrome : (Mongolism or Mangolion Idiocy) 21 trisomy. This disorder was first reported by Langdon down. It is first chromosomal mutational disorder to be discovered. It is the most common cause of trisomy & mental retardation in children.
Its frequency or incidence is 1 in 700 children. This abnormality or disorder is formed mostly by fusion of normal sperm with an abnormal egg. This abnormal egg contains the extra chromosome on 21st position.

Women around the age of 45 are more likely to produce the children having down syndrome.  This disorder is due to chromosomal non-disjunction.

Symptoms : Short stature, rounded face, extra folds in eye lids (epicanthus), broad fore head, retracted tongue and lower lips, flattened nasal bridge, open mouth, short neck, flat hands, stubby fingers, undeveloped genital & gonads, mental retardation (IQ = 25–50),. Amniocentesis is done to detect this syndrome in embryonic stage.

2. Edward's syndrome (trisomy 18) (Incidence 1 in 8000 birth) This disorder characterizes defective formation of ears and nervous system. They are mentally retarded, have small eyes – micropthalmia, micrognatha (small jaw).

3. Patauo's syndrome (trisomy 13) (Incidence 1 in 15,000 birth) Cleft plate, polydactyly, small hands, tiny eyes,  mentally retarded.

4. Cat cry syndrome (Cri-du-cat) This disorder is due to partial deletion of short arm of chromosome

5.  Patients are mentally retarded and exhibit characteristics of a cat cry.

Sex chromosomal (Aneuploidy) 

1. Klinefelter's syndrome (44 + xxy) or (44 + xxxy) (Incidence 1 in 850 live male birth)

  •  A + XX + A + Y

  •  A + X + A + XY

This disorder occurs due to fusion of abnormal female gamete (A + XX) with normal sperm (A + Y) or normal egg (A + X) with abnormal sperm (A + XY).
So these patients have 47 chromosome (extra sex chromosome) instead of 46. (Trisomic disorder) Symptoms : These are sterile male, abnormal development of genitals and gonads, are mentally retarded and show female like characters like Gynecomastia (Female like breast), Barr body present. Most common cause of Hypogonadism in male.

2. Turner's Syndrome (44 + XO) (Incidence 1 in 3000 female birth)

  •  A + X × A  + O

  •  A + O × A + X

This syndrome is formed by fusion of normal egg with abnormal sperm or abnormal egg with normal sperm. So, patient have 45 chromosome. It is a monosomic disorder.

Symptoms : Sterile female, primary amenorrhoea, undeveloped ovaries (rudimentary ovary), small uterus, shielded chest, webbed neck, mentally retarded, short statured Mentally retarded. Most common cause of death is cardiovascular abnormality (coarctation of aorta– compression of the wall of vessel)

3. Jacob's Syndrome or super males or criminal syndrome (44 + XYY) (Incidence 1 in 1000 live born males) These patients have extra y chromosome. So there is a normal production of testosterone in these patients. These individual have abnormal height, aggressive behaviour, mentally retarded and criminal bent of mind.

4. Super females or Multi-x females (44 + xxx)  (Incidence 1 in 1200 females) Mental retardation is proportional to the No. of X–chromosomes, fertile female.

FAQs on Chromosomal Mutational Disorder & Chart of Diseases - Additional Study Material for NEET

1. What is a chromosomal mutational disorder?
Ans. A chromosomal mutational disorder is a genetic condition caused by abnormalities or changes in the structure or number of chromosomes. These mutations can result in various health problems and developmental issues.
2. What are some examples of chromosomal mutational disorders?
Ans. Some examples of chromosomal mutational disorders include Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Cri du Chat syndrome. These conditions are caused by specific chromosomal abnormalities and can lead to a range of physical and cognitive symptoms.
3. How are chromosomal mutational disorders diagnosed?
Ans. Chromosomal mutational disorders are often diagnosed through genetic testing. This can involve analyzing a person's chromosomes using techniques such as karyotyping or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). These tests can identify any abnormalities or changes in the chromosomes that may be causing the disorder.
4. Can chromosomal mutational disorders be treated?
Ans. While there is no cure for chromosomal mutational disorders, many of the associated symptoms and complications can be managed or treated. Treatment may involve a combination of medical interventions, therapies, and support services tailored to the specific needs of the individual. Early intervention and ongoing care can greatly improve the quality of life for individuals with these disorders.
5. Are chromosomal mutational disorders inherited?
Ans. Chromosomal mutational disorders can be inherited in some cases, while others occur sporadically without any known family history. Some disorders are caused by an error during the formation of eggs or sperm, while others may be inherited from one or both parents who carry certain chromosomal abnormalities. Genetic counseling can help individuals and families understand the risks of passing on these disorders and make informed decisions regarding family planning.
