COMPLETE TRISOMY 22

Post to the Trisomy 22 Message Board

Complete trisomy 22 occurs when an extra (third) copy of chromosome 22 is present in every cell of the body, where there should normally only be two copies. Cases of complete (or full) trisomy 22 are very rare. Most affected individuals with complete trisomy 22 die before or shortly after birth due to severe birth defects. Complete trisomy 22 is the second most common finding in miscarriages after trisomy 16. Survival beyond the first trimester of gestation is very rare. Early reports of trisomy 22 are thought to represent unbalanced translocation 11/22 or mosaicism, as full trisomy 22 is thought to be lethal in early stages. The syndrome causes severe malformations.
