Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome is caused by single, large deletions of mtDNA (the DNA found in the mitochondria), which can range from 1,000 to 10,000 DNA building blocks (nucleotides). The mtDNA deletions involved in Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome result in the loss of genes that provide instructions for proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation.
Human DNA does sometimes stay alive in sewer systems without disintegrating. However, over time, it will eventually decay. Most times, this can take up to 1 year.

A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake is called a mutation.
A change in the DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals is called mutation.
No.
"Chromosomal analysis" should not be used for Fragile X Syndrome determination. Chromosomal analysis, Karotyping, has proven unreiable in diagnosis. Detemination can be made through DNA testing for Fragile X Syndrome, FMR1 DNA test.
Down Syndrome is when there is an extra chromosome in someones DNA. More exactly it is when the 21st chromosome has an extra one.
Elephantiasis is caused by a microfilarial nematode (very small worm).
