How is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy inherited monosomy or trisomy?

∙ 10y ago
Duchenne affects approximately 1 in every 3500 boys, or 20,000 babies born each year worldwide. Because the Duchenne gene is on the X chromosome, the disorder manifests primarily in boys. In nearly 35% of cases, Duchenne is caused by random genetic mutation.

Monosomy is seen in Turner's Syndrome where the person has one X but no Y sex chromosome. DMD is caused by a defective gene on the X chromosome. It is usually seen in boys as they have no matching gene on the Y chromosome to make a protein vital to muscle development.

How many chromosomes does a human with monosomy have?
45
What is a loss of complete chromosome called?
deletion-occurs when an end of a chromosome breaks off or when two simultaneous breaks lead to the loss of an internal segment
When a chromosome appears by itself within a karyotype and not as a pair it is known as?
monosomy.
Is 45 x the only known human live born monosomy?
Yes.
How can you identify a monosomy in a karyotype?
The karotype of an individual can be compared with a standard (an example of a known good karotypefor the target species). Karotyping looks for obvious differences in chromosome count and abnormal morphology of individual chromosomes relative to the standard.

Which monosomy can a human have and still survive?

What do you call it if a person is missing a chromosome?
If a person is missing a chromosome, it is known as monosomy. Monosomy occurs when there is only one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the usual two copies. For example, a person missing one copy of chromosome 21 would have a condition called monosomy 21 or trisomy 21, which is also known as Down syndrome.

monosomy
