This chapter lists a range of chromosomal disorders: the 22q11 deletion syndrome, Down’s syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards’ syndrome (trisomy 18), ring chromosomes, sex chromosome mosaicism, triploidy, Turner syndrome, and others. For each of the syndromes, special focus is given to the main clinical features. The chapter goes on to outline the main clinical features and management, as well as listing the support groups.

The importance of X chromosome in the aetiology of premature ovarian failure (POF) is well-known but in many cases POF still remains idiopathic. Chromosome aneuploidy increase is a physiological phenomenon related to aging, but the role of low-level sex chromosome mosaicism in ovarian function is still undiscovered. Standard cytogenetic analysis was carried out in a total of 269 patients affected by POF: 27 chromosomal abnormalities were identified, including X chromosome and autosomal structural and numerical abnormalities. In 47 patients with 46,XX karyotype we performed interphase FISH using X alpha-satellite probe in order to identify X chromosome mosaicism rate. Aneuploidy rate in the patient group was significantly higher than the general population group. These findings underline the importance of X chromosome in the aetiology of POF and highlight the potential role of low-level sex chromosome mosaicism in ovarian aging that may lead to a premature onset of menopause.
