What happens during the disease - minor partial trisomy
Minor partial trisomy is a chromosomal disorder in which an individual has an extra partial copy of a chromosome. this can occur due to an error in cell division during meiosis, resulting in an extra partial copy of a chromosome being passed on to the offspring. this extra partial chromosome can cause a variety of developmental and physical abnormalities, depending on the chromosome affected and the severity of the duplication.
