Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) Female Karyotype
Down syndrome or trisomy 21 is caused by nondisjunction of chromosome 21 in a parent who is chromosomally normal and is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities in liveborn children. The frequency of trisomy 21 in the population is approximately 1 in 650 to 1,000 live births, in Australia between 1991-97 there were 2,358 Trisomy 21 (Down) infants.
- The normal human karyotypes contain 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
- The karyotype is the characteristic chromosome complement as identified by staining and can only be identified during cell division when chromosomes are folded.
- The chromosomes when organised as an image in sequence are called a karyogram or idiogram.

Chromosome 21
- the smallest human chromosome
- about 47 million base pair
- about 1.5 % of the total DNA in cells
- contains between 300 and 400 genes (of human estimated 20,000 to 25,000 total genes)
- trisomy 21 or Downs Syndrome - additional copy of this chromosome
- partial monosomy 21 - missing segment of the chromosome in each cell
- ring chromosome 21 - circular structure, occurs when there are two breaks in a chromosome and the ends of the chromosome then fuse together
