Dear Piseco:
A trisomy 10 means that a person has 3 copies of chromosome 10, either a full extra chromosome 10 or part of the chromosome hooked onto another chromosome. Depending on which type, there are a multitude of expressions. It is difficult to tell you what to expect as I don't know which type you/posted concern may have. Trisomy 10 is a rare finding so I suppose that it could be related to the latter described type. Please tell me what the concerns and type and I will answer you.
Sincerely,
CCF Neuro MD
