Editing Monosomy (section)

==Human monosomy==
Human conditions due to monosomy:
* [[Turner syndrome]] – Females with Turner syndrome typically have one X chromosome instead of the usual two X chromosomes. Turner syndrome is the only full monosomy that is seen in humans — all other cases of full monosomy are lethal and the individual will not survive development.
* [[Cri du chat]] syndrome – (French for "cry of the cat" after the persons' malformed [[larynx]]) a partial monosomy caused by a deletion of the end of the short arm of [[chromosome 5]]
* [[1p36 deletion syndrome]] – a partial monosomy caused by a deletion at the end of the short arm of [[chromosome 1]]
* [[17q12 microdeletion syndrome]] – a partial monosomy caused by a deletion of part of the long arm of [[chromosome 17]]
