Aneuploidy is a genetic condition characterized by an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell. It can result from errors during cell division, such as non-disjunction, which leads to the unequal distribution of chromosomes between daughter cells. Aneuploidy can have significant impacts on an individual's health, as it can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to developmental disorders, infertility, and various diseases, including cancer. Research in the field of aneuploidy focuses on understanding the underlying causes of aneuploidy, its effects on cellular physiology, and potential therapeutic interventions to treat aneuploidy-related disorders.
