Partial monosomy of chromosome 13q is a monosomy that results from the loss of all or part of the long arm of chromosome 13 in human beings. It is a rare genetic disorder which results in severe congenital abnormalities which are frequently fatal at an early age. Up until 2003, more than 125 cases had been documented in medical literature.Kardon NB. Chromosomal Disorders. In: Winters R, Lazar T, Kirchner K, Stoye K, McLaughlin MA, Rothschild R, eds.
