Patient's question:
Before trying to conceive, I did a chromosomal screening with my wife. The results showed that my chromosome 46 is abnormal. Can chromosomal abnormalities be treated?Doctor's answer:
Male has a 46 chromosome abnormality. Chromosomes are the carriers of genes, and chromosomal diseases are abnormalities in chromosomes, which therefore lead to abnormal gene expression, resulting in abnormal growth and development of the body. The pathogenesis of chromosomal aberration is unclear, possibly due to the re-occurrence of non-fusion of chromosomes in the late stage of cell division, or the re-occurrence of fragmentation and reconnection of chromosomes under various internal and external factors. Chromosomal abnormalities are often manifested as familial reverse psychology, which suggests a relationship between chromosomal aberration and heredity across generations.
