According to the research I've done, Prader-Willi Syndrome is rarely a result of translocation, but it is a possibility. Translocation in this syndrome results in an inactivation of genes on the paternal chromosome 15.

What is translocation downs syndrone?

Translocation Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21 due to a rearrangement of genetic material between chromosomes. Unlike the more common forms of Down syndrome, which result from an extra full chromosome 21, translocation Down syndrome occurs when a portion of chromosome 21 becomes attached to another chromosome. This can happen during the formation of reproductive cells or in early fetal development. Individuals with translocation Down syndrome typically exhibit the same physical and cognitive characteristics associated with Down syndrome.

What are two major causes responsible for Down syndrome?

Down syndrome is the most common genetic cause of ID (intellectual disability). Down syndrome is caused by trisomy for chromosome specifically, duplication of 21q22.95% of cases result from nondisjunction and resultant standard trisomy 21.The remaining 5% are relatively evenly split between robertsonian translocation, of which 14;21 translocation is most common and about half are familial.note :robertsonian translocation is a common form of chromosomal rearrangement that in humans occurs in the five acrocentric chromosome pairs, namely 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22.

What types of Down syndrome are there?

There are three different types of Down syndrome: Standard Trisomy 21, Translocation, and Mosaicism. Standard Trisomy 21 is when the extra chromosome 21 comes from either the egg or sperm cell. Between 90% and 95% of all Down syndrome is Standard Trisomy 21.


What is transfer of genes between nonhomologous chromosomes?

Transfer of genes between nonhomologous chromosomes is known as chromosomal translocation. It can result in the fusion of two chromosomes or the exchange of genetic material between them. This process can lead to genetic abnormalities and diseases.
