Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Recognise the types of clinical features that are often associated with changes in the number or structure of chromosomes
  • Interpret a family history/family tree for patterns which might suggest an inherited chromosome anomaly
  • Describe how genetic probability is estimated for chromosome anomalies

The main classes of genetic disorders include single gene, chromosomal and multifactorial conditions as explored in session:Why Does Genetics Matter in Primary Care Practice? (400-0079). This session considers anomalies affecting chromosome number and structure.
