We finished chapter 6, on cytogenetics.
We covered the main cases of autosomal and sex chromosome aneuploidy: Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Turner syndrome (trisomy 18), Patau symdrome (trisomy 13), Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY), and "supermale" syndrome (XYY).
We also discussed structural abnormalities in chromosomes, like deletions, additions, inversions, and translocations.
On Friday: Exam 01
