Question 1

how can my babies health be affected with deletion chromosome 2?

Accepted Answer

Chromosome 2:  p12-11.2 Deletion Syndrome can cause unusual facial features, developmental delays, small head circumference, &amp; increased risk of kidney tumor. Seek a clinical evaluation by a geneticist who has reviewed baby's pre-, peri- &amp; postnatal medical history,head &amp; body growth charts, family history &amp; results of Chromosomal Microarray on baby &amp; parents to obtain a correct diagnosis &amp; prognosis.

Question 2

my 3 year old son has 47 chomosome with a deletion in  the chromosome 7 nobody knows the cause for severe anemia and hypoproteinemia. any  idea.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Could be myelodysplastic syndrome with fanconi's anemia, or one of several other aberrations that may arise from chromosome 7 abnormalities. You should be seeing a pediatric hematologist/oncologist, and this may best be handled in your area in a medical school specialty clinic.
Best wishes.

Question 3

i am wondering if people living with c-18q-  chromosomal deletion syndrome have trouble fighting off infections or have low levels of iga.

Accepted Answer

18q- means a piece : of The long arm of the 18th chromosome is missing. There are hundreds of different genes located on the long arm, so there are potentially hundreds of different combinations of genes which might be missing and they all could cause different problems depending on the function of the genes missing.  See  http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/chromosome/18%22

Question 4

is chromosome deletion a probable cause of cerebral palsy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are many different potential causes of cerebral palsy, the most common is actually just a very premature birth.  Certainly a chromosomal abnormality can contribute to the development of cerebral palsy.  Thank you for the question.

Question 5

my daughter has deletion 22q chromosome syndrome.i took highlevels of dilantin while pregnant with her.is there a connection?

Accepted Answer

Dilantin: Yes, it is possible that dilatin caused the chromosomal defect in your child.

Question 6

can dental x-rays without precaution cause chromosome deletion to the baby?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The modern dental x-ray dose is very low. The x-ray beam is also columated so the beam is very small. Virtually no scatter exists. Also, the dentist generally shields your body with a lead apron.  The beam is pointed at the patients tooth, not their abdomen.  X-rays are much safer than dr oz will have you believe.

Question 7

a 59yo male 1st diagnosed with aml in the cns.  abnormal chromosome 7 resulting in deletion.  receiving induction w/idarubicin, hidac.  who are the us experts? where's the best treatment?  where's the most up to date research & trials being conducted

Accepted Answer

Academic Medical Cen: You did not say where you are from. Most major cities have a teaching hospital. Check that out first. National centers include Sloan-Kettering in NYC, MD Anderson in Houston, City of Hope in LA.
Good luck.

Question 8

what are the disadvantages of having three sets of chromosomes?

Accepted Answer

Chromosomes: Too many to discuss here. Have you ever heard of wikipedia? Recommend going there before coming here. We only have 400 characters. They have unlimited space and excellent drawings etc.

Question 9

sir i am a gay is there any bad effect of becoming on health and i listen somewhere that there are three chromosomes in super male & female is it?

Accepted Answer

Not many: effects as long as you use caution. Protection against sexually transmitted diseases is most important. Use condoms for intercourse and rubber dams for oral contact. Gays are otherwise just as healthy as anyone else. Super male or XYY chromosomes have nothing to do with being gay. This anomaly occurs in 1/1000 births and can be associated with tall stature. Thanks for Trusting HealthTap!

Question 10

i have been told my son has an abnormalities in the brain and delition of chromosome 2 ,  what does it mean ?

Accepted Answer

The term...: ..."abnormalities in the brain" is too vague to be defined.  The doctor who told you this should be able to tell you what s/he means.  Chromosome segments are sometimes found to be missing.  This can sometimes be associated with  specific kinds of abnormalities.  In any case, the doctor who told you these things should be the one fully explaining them to you.
