Sie haben eine Veränderung der Chromosomen.

Körper-Zellen enthalten in der Regel einen kompletten Bauplan des Körpers. Dieser Bauplan ist die Erbinformation. Die Erbinformation liegt verschlüsselt in den Chromosomen. Beim Menschen enthalten Körper-Zellen normalerweise 23 Chromosomen-Paare, insgesamt also 46 Chromosomen.

Je nachdem, wie die Chromosomen verändert sind, können verschiedene Beschwerden auftreten. Veränderungen der Chromosomen können erblich sein. Dann sind mitunter weitere Familienmitglieder betroffen.
