Chromosomal Translocations
Chromosomal Translocations Causes
Chromosomal translocation is caused by distorted genetic development that has evolved over time. It can also be a result of poor genetic variations.
Chromosomal Translocations Definition
Chromosomal translocation is a genetic defect in which chromosomes break apart and reconnect with other chromosomes resulting to certain disorders. Chronic myelogenic leukemia and hemophilia are examples of chromosomal translocations.
Chromosomal Translocations Diagnosis
DNA and chromosomal tests are conducted to determine the onset of translocations among chromosomes. Family history is also studied.
Chromosomal Translocations Symptoms and Signs
Chromosomal translocations can be detected by the presence of congenital abnormalities possessed by an infant. Hereditary conditions are also signs of chromosomal problems.
Chromosomal Translocations Treatment
Treatment of chromosomal translocation is by genetic counseling.
