There was a single recorded episode of fitting at 5 days old. Chromosome analysis showed a t(1;16)(q12;p13.3). Parental karyotypes were normal. Both parents were considered to have mild ...

Children born with a DNA abnormality on chromosome 16 already linked to neurodevelopmental problems show measurable delays in processing sound and language, says a study team of radiologists and ...

The most frequent gains were from chromosome arms 8q (69%), 17q (67%), and 7p (52%), and the most frequent losses were from 9p (50%), 11q (48%), and 17p (44%). The overall DNA copy number profile of ...

Prenatal genetic tests can detect sex chromosome aberrations, but what happens after—for families and children—is anything but clear. When Ollie’s mother, Katie, was nine weeks pregnant ...

Normally, one pair of each of the two α-globin genes, α1 and α2, resides on each copy of chromosome 16. In hemoglobin H disease, three of these four α-globin genes are affected by a deletion ...

as well as missing copies of chromosome 16. The most frequent chromosome changes in these healthy women were extra copies in chromosome 1, and losses of chromosomes 16, 10 and 22, which scientists ...

The first attempt to determine the building blocks of our genetic code took place 20 years ago, but there were still significant gaps left in the sequences of all 23 pairs of human chromosomes.
