 Description: Chromosome-associated genetic diseases are disorders caused by abnormalities in the number or structure of chromosomes, which carry genetic material in the form of genes. These abnormalities can result in the gain or loss of genetic material or changes in chromosome structure, often disrupting multiple important genes and leading to developmental and clinical consequences. Examples include Down syndrome, which is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to intellectual disability and various physical abnormalities
