There are genes on the sex chromosomes. If the chromosomes are abnormal, it may cause abnormal gene expression. Genes can control the division of body cells and the production of various proteins in the body. Once the genes are abnormal, the adverse effects will be unpredictable. We often hear about chromosome 16 abnormalities. The causes of this type of chromosomal abnormality are quite complicated. Let’s briefly analyze the possible causes of chromosome 16 abnormalities. 1. Reasons at the physical level. We humans live in an environment full of radiation sources. Some of these radiation sources may come from nature, and some may come from artificially produced radiation sources, such as daily use of computers, security checks, and radiation inspections. These situations may expose our bodies to radiation sources. Electromagnetic radiation can cause a variety of chromosomal abnormalities such as sex chromosome deficiency, chromosomal aberration, and chromosomal deletion. Therefore, in order to prevent chromosomal abnormalities, please minimize exposure to electromagnetic radiation. 2. Reasons at the organic chemical level. This is another common cause of chromosomal abnormalities. We have various opportunities to come into contact with compounds in our daily work and daily life. These compounds may come from nature or be artificially synthesized. When we eat or breathe, these compounds may enter the human body, and some compounds may cause chromosomal abnormalities. 3. Chromosomal abnormalities caused by being pregnant at an advanced age. For example, some pregnant women are quite old, so they may experience changes in egg cell degeneration. The ability of degenerated egg cells to produce sperm and egg and then disintegrate is significantly reduced. We know that new sex chromosomes are produced during cell division. Once the cell division activity is affected, chromosomal abnormalities are bound to occur. This concludes a brief and detailed introduction to the possible causes of chromosome 16 abnormalities. Generally speaking, chromosomal abnormalities are easy to detect in babies or newborns, but if you can do a prenatal check-up in advance, or do a physical examination before deciding to get pregnant, you can achieve the effect of avoiding chromosomal abnormalities. |
