Reciprocal translocation down syndrome

MedGen UID:
994147
•Concept ID:
CN315930
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: reciprocal translocation down syndrome
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0700083

Definition

Chromosomal disorder in which (part or full) chromosome 21 has been exchange with another chromosome, resulting in the presence of a third copy of (part or full) chromosome 21 genetic material. A reciprocal translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by exchange of parts between non-homologous chromosomes. [from MONDO]
