See below: There are multiple more common nondisjunction syndromes like down's syndrome (trisomy 21) including: trisomies 18, 13, 8, 9, 16 and monosomies like: chromosome 7 or turner's syndrome - monosomy x. But nondisjunction can happen to any of the chromosomes. The most recognized are down's syndrome and turner's syndrome. Most others are not compatible with life.
