Chromosome aberration
Chromosome aberrations are changes in chromosome structure or number. Most aberrations are known as aneuploidies, or different numbers of chromosomes other than pairs (e.g., a trisomy is an aneuploidy with one extra chromosome and a monosomy has one fewer chromosome for a total of 1).
