What is another word for Chromosome Fragility?
Pronunciation: [kɹˈə͡ʊməsˌə͡ʊm fɹad͡ʒˈɪlɪti] (IPA) 
Chromosome fragility refers to the susceptibility of a chromosome to break or undergo rearrangement under certain conditions. Synonyms for chromosome fragility include chromosomal instability, chromosomal breakage, and chromosomal aberration. These terms all describe the same phenomena where the structure of the chromosome is altered due to environmental or genetic factors. Other related terms include chromosomal damage, chromosomal mutations, and chromosomal defects. Understanding the mechanisms underlying chromosome fragility is important in developing diagnostic tools and therapies for genetic disorders that result from chromosomal abnormalities. Further research into this field may uncover new ways to prevent or treat genetic diseases caused by chromosomal instability.
