Partial trisomy syndrome of chromosome 6q is a very rare chromosomal disorder in which part of chromosome number six (6q) is present three times (trisomy) instead of twice in the body's cells. Many people with partial trisomy syndrome of chromosome 6q also have characteristic neck abnormalities. In people with partial trisomy syndrome of chromosome 6q, all or part of the distal end (q) arm of chromosome number 6 is present three times (trisomy) instead of twice in the cells of the body.
