Since the traits for hemophilia are carried on the X chromosome and not the Y, it is more probable for females to have a chromosome with the mutation. Since the mutation is considered recessive and males only have one X chromosome, they are more likely to portray the phenotype for hemophilia than their female counterparts.
Marfan syndrome is caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene on chromosome 15. The chromosme pattern is normal (44XY or 44XX), however see for discussion of a boy with XYY pattern and Marfan below:
No, the alleles for achondroplasia are not found on the sex chromosomes. The incidence is the same for both sexes.
If it was sex linked the ratio would be much higher in males and they would also essentially be
homozygous for the trait which would make the death toll in affected male babies 100%.
Yes, achondroplasia is a chromosomal disorder. The type of chromosomal disorder this is, is an autosomal- dominant.
None, cerebral palsy is caused by brain damage
Mutations that cause Marfan syndrome are found on FBN1 on chromosome 15. There are over 600 known mutations that cause Marfan; many families have a mutation that is unique to their family.
Marfan syndrome is caused by a single gene for fibrillin on chromosome 15, which is inherited in most cases from an affected parent.
The FGFR3 Gene.

Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
The chromosomes which are affected in Turner's Syndrome is the sex chromosomes. A normal female individual has 2 X sex chromosomes. In Turner's Syndrome, a woman only has one X chromosome and is missing the other. Thus, a woman with Turner's Syndrome has the sex chromosomes X0.
Lowe syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X sex chromosome. Because it is X-linked, it occurs almost exclusively in males.
It is a type of genetic disorder in which females are affected. This happens when they dont have an X chromosome as in the sex chromosome so the resultant will be XO.

The etiology of marfan syndrome would be the mutations in the protein FBN1 in the gene chromosome 15.
No. Down is caused by an extra chromosome while Marfan is due to a mutation in one or more genes.
FBN1 or Fibrillin 1
Chromosome 21 is tripled in Down syndrome.
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. An affected person has a 50% chance of passing it on to each offspring, regardless of gender.

Marfan syndrome affects three major organ systems of the body: the heart and circulatory system, the bones and muscles, and the eyes.
chromosome 4
Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
Marfan syndrome is found in 1 in every 5,000 - 10,000 births. If one of your parents has Marfan syndrome, you have a 50% chance of having Marfan syndrome.
if you mean chromosome its the 15th......
