Trisomy 16, or Trisomy 16 syndrome, is a condition in which the number of chromosome 16 is three, one more than normal.Chromosome 16 is an autosomal chromosome, not a sex chromosome, and is generally not directly related to sex, so the cause cannot be determined to be from either the female or the male side.
There are many causes of trisomy 16, such as older age of the mother, use of drugs, exposure to radiation, infection by certain viruses, and exposure to toxins, which can lead to mutation of genes during embryonic development and abnormal segregation during meiosis, resulting in babies having problems with three of chromosome 16.
After discovering the problem of trisomy 16, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital for consultation and active treatment.
