Parental chromosomal rearrangement is a common cause of trisomy 2q syndrome. The 2q34-q ter segment is critical, and similar triplications lead to greater phenotypic similarity in patients.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Human Genetics
- Chromosomal Abnormalities
Background:
- Trisomy 2q syndrome is a rare genetic disorder.
- Parental chromosomal rearrangements are implicated in its occurrence.
