Mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome

Definition:

Mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome (MVA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mosaic aneuploidies, diverse phenotypic abnormalities and predisposition to cancer. MVA is due to defective cell division, leading to aberrant disjunction of chromosomes during mitosis. It has been reported that mutations of the BUB1B, CEP57, and TRIP13 genes cause MVA.
