Chromosome diminution is a hereditary disease that manifests itself in a decrease in the number of chromosomes in human cells. Typically, a healthy human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes, but with chromatin diminution, mutations can appear, which leads to a decrease in the number of chromosomes to 20 pairs or less. It can cause a variety of symptoms, such as delayed physical and mental development, visual, hearing and speech problems, and other health problems.
One of the causes of chromosome diminution is a mutation in the SRY gene, which is responsible for sexual development in men. With a mutation in this gene, chromosomes can stick together, which ultimately leads to diminution. Also, diminution can occur due to exposure to radiation, chemicals or other factors.
Chromosome dilation can be diagnosed using genetic tests or a blood test. Treatment depends on the patient's symptoms and may include drug therapy or
