chromosomal abnormalities vary in their presentations in children according to the number of chromosome, the amount of genome which is deleted or translocated to other chromosomes , unfortunately medicine has no absolute cure for the chromosomal abnormalities , yes we can control the symptoms like seizures, poor feeding , hearing or visual deficit, but altering the genome to produce a whole new chromosome instead of the missing ones are all under studies .
