Genomic Imbalances

Genomic imbalances occur when there are changes in the normal amount or structure of genetic material in our DNA. This can include deletions (missing parts), duplications (extra copies), or rearrangements of genes. Such imbalances can disrupt normal development and function, leading to health issues or genetic disorders. They happen randomly or due to hereditary factors and are detected through genetic testing. Understanding these imbalances helps diagnose and manage various medical conditions linked to genetic variations, emphasizing the importance of precise genetic analysis in medicine.
