PGT-M - China

What are chromosomes and genes?

In a person, each cell contains chromosomes that were inherited from each parent, 23 from the father and 23 from the mother. Therefore, each person has two pairs of 23 chromosomes or 46 total chromosomes.
Chromosomes are comprised of molecules called DNA.
Our DNA is organized into small fragments called genes.
When the function of the genes is altered by a change, called mutation, in the specific sequence a monogenic disease results.
