There are several sites that are very helpful for you to find different chromsome problems.
I have included 2 that will help you the most.
Both are interactive and explain in detail about genetic problems.
The first allows you to click each chromosome and read all there is to know about that chromsome.
The second, Genetic Alliance, has lots of good links. If you click on the Disease Info Search you can search various diseases and chromsome problems. Clicking T for “trisomy” will result in searches for
Trisomy 9
Trisomy 13
Trisomy 18
Trisomy 22
