In addition to the autosomal trisomies, there
are other conditions associated with an abnormal
number of chromosomes. They involve
either the entire set of chromosomes (triploidy
or tetraploidy) or the X chromosome or Y chromosome.
Deviations from the normal number
of X or Y chromosomes comprise about half of
all chromosomal aberrations in man (total
frequency about 1:400).
