A member asked:
Can anyone tell me what causes a gain of chromosomes in an adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
People don't gain chromosomes as adults. If you have an extra chromosome as a fetus, development is abnormal, either before birth or during childhood and adulthood. The best known is an extra chromosome 21: Down's syndrome.
