Disomy [I- + (Chromo)Som]

Disomy is the presence in a cell of two sets of chromosomes that are structurally identical. This can occur in both haploid and diploid cells. In the first case, this is called haplodiploidy, and in the second, diplody.

Disomy can be caused by various reasons, such as mutations in genes that control cell division or exposure of cells to chemicals. It can lead to various diseases, such as Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome and others.

In haploid somatic cells, the presence of two homologous chromosomes can be observed, which is called sex chromosome disomy. It can also lead to various diseases and genetic disorders.

Various methods are used to treat disomy, such as genetic therapy, removing excess chromosomes, or using drugs that can stop cells from dividing. However, despite all efforts, there is often a need to use replacement therapy, which may include a bone marrow transplant.

Thus, disomy is a serious genetic disorder that can lead to a variety of diseases. However, thanks to modern treatment methods, many people with this disease can live full lives.



Disomy is a combination of chromosomes in one nucleus with the presence of two sets equivalent to each other. Biological processes associated with a diploid system typically follow an elliptic curve. And this leads to a decrease in ovarian reserve and osteoporosis of the body. Disomies can also be referred to as chromosomal abnormalities
