If this type of chromosomal abnormality is detected in a child, then analysis of the parents' chromosomes should be performed.

If one of the parents possesses a chromosomal abnormality, then they are at higher risk for having other offspring with retinoblastoma.

Usually, however, a chromosomal abnormality is not detected in a child with retinoblastoma.

Cri du chat (a French phrase that means "cry of the cat") syndrome is a group of symptoms that result when a piece of chromosomal material is missing (deleted) from a particular region on chromosome 5.

Children born with this chromosomal deletion have a characteristic mewing cat-like cry as infants that is thought to be caused by abnormal development of the larynx (organ in the throat responsible for voice production).

In approximately 10 percent of children with cri du chat, there is a hereditary chromosomal rearrangement that causes the deletion.

The extent of mental retardation and other symptoms depends on the site of the chromosomal deletions, with larger deletions resulting in more serious symptoms.

DiGeorge syndrome is a genetic syndrome most frequently associated with a chromosomal deletion (22q11.2).

Careful chromosomal study can reveal abnormalities on chromosome 15 that are consistent with those identified in Angelman's syndrome.

Of all the chromosomal abnormalities that result in spontaneous abortion or miscarriage, Turner's syndrome is the most common, accounting for about 20 percent of all miscarriages.

Because the symptoms caused by the chromosomal abnormality vary somewhat from child to child, the syndrome probably occurs much more often than was previously thought.

While Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder, a baby is usually identified at birth through observation of a set of common physical characteristics.

Thicker measurements correlate with the possibility of Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic condition caused by the absence of chromosomal material from chromosome 15.

The piece of chromosomal material that is deleted contains genes that must be present for normal development.

In fewer than 1 percent of the cases of PWS there is a chromosomal rearrangement in the family that causes the deletion.

This chromosomal rearrangement is called translocation.

The most common cause is chromosomal problems or genetic abnormalities.
