Test Details
Chromosomes 13 and 21 are two of the 23 pairs of chromosomes found in humans. They are both autosomes, meaning they are not involved in determining the sex of an individual.
Chromosome 13:
- It is one of the largest chromosomes in the human genome, consisting of about 114 million base pairs.
- Mutations or abnormalities in chromosome 13 can lead to various genetic disorders, such as trisomy 13 (also known as Patau syndrome), which is characterized by severe developmental issues and multiple physical abnormalities.
Chromosome 21:
- It is the smallest human chromosome, consisting of about 48 million base pairs.
- The most well-known abnormality associated with chromosome 21 is trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome. Individuals with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, resulting in developmental delays, intellectual disability, and distinct physical features.
Both chromosomes 13 and 21 play important roles in the overall functioning and development of an individual, and abnormalities in these chromosomes can have significant impacts on health and well-being.
