We discussed chromosome terminology, the steps to prepare a human karyotype, and generalities about chromosome abnormalities: Polyploidy, aneuploidy, and the most common cases and causes of each.
We then discussed structural alterations (duplications, deletions, inversions, and translocations (reciprocal and Robertsonian), and other abnormalities (Double Uniparental Disomy and fragile sites).
The details of each case of aneuploidy were covered by students as an independent reading and will be tested.
