Chromosome 5p duplication

What causes a chromosome 5p duplication?

The exact cause is unknown; but in most cases, 5p duplications appears to be caused by random ( de novo ) errors very early in embryonic development. In such instances, the parents of the affected child usually have normal chromosomes and a relatively low risk of having another child with the chromosomal abnormality. You will need to speak with a genetics professional about how a specific chromosome abnormality might be inherited in your family.
