What happens if a mutated gamete (2n) fertilizes a normal one (1n) in humans?

A genetic mutation during meiosis caused the production of a (2n) gamete. What happens if this gamete is fertilized (or fertilizes if male gamete) by a normal (1n) gamete? Would the fertilization succeed? and if yes, what disorder would the produced fetus (later on a baby) have?
