Chromosomal Anomalies and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Chromosomal Anomalies and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Special Psychology
Chromosomal anomalies and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are important issues studied in connection with genetic factors. In this article, we will discuss the effects of chromosomal anomalies on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). What are Chromosome Anomalies? Chromosomal anomalies are changes that occur as a result of the irregular distribution of genetic material. Such deviations of genetic information affect the development of the individual. It may contribute to the emergence of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD. What is Autism Spectrum Disorder? Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication. Genetic components play an important role in brain development and functionality. This may affect...

Effects of Changes in Chromosomes on Human Health

Diseases
The human body stores genetic information through chromosomes, one of the basic structural units that carry genetic information. However, changes in these chromosomes can affect an individual's health and cause various genetic diseases. In this article, we will discuss in detail the effects of chromosome abnormalities on human health. From numerical changes such as trisomy and monosomy to structural changes such as deletions and duplications. Changes in Chromosomes and Genetic Structure Human cells contain chromosomes that carry genetic information. Any change in chromosomes affects the genetic structure and causes health problems. Trisomy and Monosomy: Numerical Changes Trisomy refers to the presence of more than normal chromosomes in a chromosome pair. Monosomy represents a ...
