Autosomal Trisomy Chromosome Diseases. The 22 non-sex autosome chromosomes (autosomes) can also exhibit disorders, of which the most common is trisomy (having 3 copies rather than a pair). Because these are disorders of the autosomes and not the sex chromosomes, these disorders can occur with males or females.
Human genetics: Pleiotropic mutations. Hannah Stower. A large-scale analysis of SNPs and genes that are reported to be associated with common complex diseases and traits has found abundant pleiotropy: that is, each individual gene mutation may have a role in multiple diseases. large-scale analysis of SNPs and genes that are reported to be associated with common complex diseases and traits has found abundant pleiotropy: that is, each individual gene mutation may have a role in multiple diseases.
