Overview

Chromosome abnormalities are changes in the structure or number of Chromosomes. Chromosomes are packages of genetic material found in every cell of the human body and determine an individual's physical characteristics. Abnormalities can be caused by missing or extra parts, or abnormal rearrangements of genetic material. These abnormalities can result in a wide range of physical, mental, and medical conditions. They can be inherited from parents, but can also occur spontaneously. Chromosome abnormalities may cause infertility, learning disabilities, and birth defects, among other medical issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for optimizing development and minimizing health complications. With advances in genetic technology, researchers continue to gain a better understanding of the causes and potential treatments for chromosome abnormalities.
