Chromosomopathies are genetic disorders caused by abnormalities in the structure or number of chromosomes. These disorders can lead to various developmental, physical and intellectual challenges in affected individuals, often manifesting in childhood. Understanding chromosomopathies is essential for early detection, intervention and support for affected children and their families. Chromosomopathy refers to any disorder or condition caused by abnormalities in the structure or number of chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread-like structures found in the nucleus of cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes. Any alteration in the normal structure or number of chromosomes can lead to chromosomal disorders, also known as chromosomal abnormalities or chromosomal anomalies. These abnormalities can occur during the formation of reproductive cells (sperm and egg) or during early embryonic development.
