FAQ - Monosomy
(Powered by Yahoo! Answers)
Are chromosomal abnormalities, such as monosomy or trisomy, confined only to certain parts of the body?
Some examples of the abnormalities I'm talking about result in Down's Syndrome (extra chromosome 21), Turner's Syndrome (only one X chromosome), Klinefelter's syndrome (an extra X chromosome), and Monosomy 7 (absent chromosome 7).

If memory serves, the chromosomes are built into the dna strands,which would mean they are system wide. (
