Chromosome aberrations

Hi Chirley,
Very cute cat!

As far as I understand patients with Angelman's disease have the chromosome aberration in all cells in their body from conception.

Patients with blood cancer diseases like MDS have developed their chromosome aberrations (if they can be detected) in the stemcells during their lives. Then it is possible to destroy all their stemcells and transplant new healthy stemcells that hopefully will engraft in the bone marrow.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
