Marker heterochromatin is a chromosomal abnormality caused by an unequal exchange of genetic material between two chromosomes. it is characterized by an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome, resulting in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the cells of the affected individual.
What happens during the disease - individuals with marker heterochromatin
Marker heterochromatin is a genetic disorder caused by an abnormal number of copies of certain genes, which results in a disruption of the normal functioning of the cell. the abnormal gene copies can be inherited from a parent or can be acquired through a mutation. the mutation affects the structure of the chromosomes, resulting in a decrease in the amount of genetic material and an increase in the amount of non-coding dna. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including developmental delays, intellectual disability, and physical abnormalities.
