Chromosomal Disorders in Pregnancy

Expert Care for a Healthy Pregnancy at Diva Hospital

Chromosomal disorders are genetic abnormalities that occur when there are changes in the number or structure of chromosomes in a fetus. These changes can affect the baby's development and health. At Diva Hospital, we offer comprehensive screening, diagnosis, counseling, and management options to support expecting parents every step of the way.

What Are Chromosomal Disorders?

Chromosomes are structures within our cells that carry genes. A typical human cell contains 46 chromosomes. Any deviation—either in number or structure—can lead to chromosomal disorders. The most common include:

Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) - An extra copy of chromosome 21.
Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) - Severe developmental delays and life-threatening medical issues.
Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome) - Affects brain development, facial features, and heart defects.
Turner Syndrome - Affects females who are missing part or all of one X chromosome.
Klinefelter Syndrome - Affects males who have an extra X chromosome.
