Chromosome abnormalities• Numerical abnormalities - gain or loss of
one or more whole chromosome(s)– Includes aneuploidy (trisomy, monosomy)
• Structural abnormalities - chromosome breakage and rejoining in a different configuration– Includes translocations, deletions, inversions
• Only a few are compatible with life

The cause of aneuploidy
• Non-disjunction - failure of pairs of chromosomes to separate during meiosis I or II
• Probably usually due to ageing of oocyte, hence maternal age effect
• Environmental factors may also be important, e.g. radiation

Structural abnormalities• Translocation - transfer of part of one chromosome
to another– Reciprocal translocation
– Robertsonian translocation
• Deletions - loss of material from within a chromosome (usually lethal)
• Insertions - extra material added within a chromosome
• Inversion - section within a chromosome is turned around
