chromosomally
In genetic terms
In terms of chromosomes—the structures in cells that carry genetic information.
The word typically appears in scientific or medical contexts: chromosomally normal, chromosomally abnormal.
A condition that is chromosomally determined results from the number or arrangement of chromosomes rather than other genetic factors.
