refers to a cell or organism whose chromosome number is not an exact multiple of its normal haploid chromosome number
a cell that has one or more chromosomes of a set added or deleted
Having less than or more than the normal diploid number of chromosomes; a common type of cytogenetic abnormality.
containing an inappropriate number of chromosomes other than 46 ( more than or less than 2n)
The characteristic of having either fewer or more than the normal number of chromosomes in a cell. This is an abnormal cell.
Cell or organism with missing or extra chromosomes or parts of chromosomes.
A nucleus with a chromosome number that is not an exact multiple of the normal haploid number (2N+1, 2N-1, etc.)
Having one more or less than the normal, euploid number of chromosomes.
A cell where the total number of chromosomes is not an exact multiple of 23. The haploid number of chromosomes is 23, which is found in the egg and sperm cells. The diploid number is 46, which results from the joining of the egg and sperm. The triploid state of 69 chromosomes rarely occurs and is not compatible with life. The most common aneuploid numbers are 45 (one chromosome is missing) and 47 (one chromosome is added).
Abnormal numbers of chromosomes or DNA content in cells. Normal cells have 46 chromosomes; aneuploid cells have more or less than 46 chromosomes.
AN-you-ploid A cell with one or more extra or missing chromosomes. 298
Refers to an abnormal cell that does not have the normal 23 pairs of chromosomes. (an=not, eu=good, plo=fold, oid= shape or form.)
A cell containing a number of chromosomes that is not an even multiple of the haploid number (n).
Abnormal amount of DNA in a cell, can correlate with a worse cancer.
Having more or less than the normal or diploid number of chromosomes.
Chromosome constitution differing from the usual diploid constitution by loss or duplication of chromosomes or chromosomal segments. ( 13)
Cells that contain an abnormal amount of DNA.
Having an abnormal number of chromosomes, as revealed by ploidy analysis. Aneuploid prostate cancer cells tend not to respond well to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Having an abnormal number of chromosomes. (SMD)
A cell or organism possessing a chromosome number that is either more or less than the normal diploid amount. Aneuploid also describes cases in which the part of a chromosome is duplicated or deficient.
An abnormal number of chromosomes; a characteristic of cancer. ( See also ploidy).
having an abnormal number of sets of chromosomes; e.g., tetraploid means having two paired sets of chromosomes, which is twice as many as normal (see also diploid).
The situation which exists when the nucleus of a cell does not contain an exact multiple of the haploid number of chromosomes; one or more chromosomes being present in greater or lesser number than the rest. The chromosomes may or may not show rearrangements.
( an-u-ploid): see ploidy.
A chromosome number which is not an exact multiple of the haploid number, i.e. 2 - 1 or 2 + 1 where is the haploid number of chromosomes.
