Chromosomal Disorders and Genetic Counseling?

Know anything about these? What roughly a fetus missing the long arm of chromosome 20? What's that mean, and how would it affect the kid? From your question, I brand of get the dent that you or someone you know is carrying a fetus with the chromosomal abnormality you mentioned. In that satchel, the doctor who diagnosed the condition should also have discussed the implication of the abnormality with the child's parents. If you're asking because this is something you're have to deal beside, you doctor or genetic counselor should be able to provide far more information than I can.
Presumably the fetus is missing the long arm of merely one copy of chromosome 20. Were both copies effected, the fetus would probable self-abort in the rash stages of the pregancy. Missing a copy of a chromosome is known as monosomy, and is collectively followed by a number indicating which chromosome is effected. When individual part of one copy of the chromosome is missing, it's call a partial monosome. So a child missing part of chromosome 20 is said to enjoy partial monosomy 20.
There seems to be particularly little information available about how partial monosomy 20 would effect a child. It is comparatively possible that the child would either self-abort (i.e. miscarry) within the early stages of fetal nouns, or would be still-born. If the child were born live, he or she would probably enjoy pronounced physiological and developmental abnormalities.
Children beside many different chromosomal abnormality are likely to hold mental retardation (and potentially other psycological and behavioral difficulties), deformities of internal organs (ex. heart defects), and a markedly remarkable physical apearance. But they can still be happy, loving children, and grow to become productive member of society.
