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.
The non-sex chromosomes 1..22 are called autosomes and the resulting conditions called autosomal genetic diseases. (For comparison, the other conditions affecting the sex chromsomes X and Y are called x-linked genetic diseases .).Recessive diseases are diseases where both copies of a gene must be damaged or mutated.esearch the causes of these diseases that are similar to, or related to, Autosomal Recessive Genetic Diseases: 1  Spinal muscular dystrophy. 2  Niemann Pick disease.
