Examples of mosaicism
mosaicism
Genetic diseases are not the only ones affected by mosaicism, Dr. Migeon explains.

Generally 20 cells are analyzed which is enough to rule out mosaicism to an acceptable level.

Mosaicism and regulation represent two ends of a spectrum, and all organisms exhibit both to some degree.

- The condition in which an organism has two or more cell populations that differ in genetic makeup
- In genetic medicine, a mosaic or mosaicism denotes the presence of two populations of cells with different genotypes in one individual who has developed from a single fertilized egg. Mosaicism may result from a mutation during development which is propagated to only a subset of the adult cells.
- The presence of two or more chromosome patterns in the cells of a person, resulting in two or more cell lines (i.e., some with 46 chromosomes, others with 47).
- The presence in an individual of cells of differing chromosomal constitutions.
- Where a genetic or chromosomal abnormality occurs in some body cells. The proportion of normal to abnormal cells will determine how serious the condition is.
- Within a single individual or tissue, the occurrence of two or more cell lines with different genetic or chromosomal constitutions
- An individual organism that has two or more kinds of genetically different cell types. The degree of abnormality depends on the type of tissue containing affected cells. Individuals may vary from near normal to full manifestation of the genetic syndrome.
- The presence in an individual of two or more cell lines that are karyotypically or genotypically distinct and are derived from a single zygote
- Rather than uniform genetic make up throughout the body, the person with mosaicism has some variation between cells. "Normally all body cells would have the same number of chromosomes (46). ...
