Are there different types of turner syndrome?
There are 3 types of Turner syndrome Classic Turner syndrome - 45X - second X chromosome missing from all cells. Mosaic Turner syndrome - 45X/46XX - second X chromosome missing from some cells. The third type of Turner syndrome is when the second X chromosome is damaged or only partly missing.
What chromosome number is affected in Lowe syndrome?
Lowe syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X sex chromosome. Because it is X-linked, it occurs almost exclusively in males.
What kind of mutation is triple x syndrome?
Most cases of triple X syndrome are not inherited so it is not a dominant or recessive trait.
What are two diseases linked to the X chromosome?
One disorder could be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated X chromosomes. Another recessive genetic disorder you can get is called Hemophilia. This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious.
What chromosomes carry triple x syndrome?
chromosome 21
Is there a treatment for Triple X Syndrome?
i dont think so but there might eventually. the above response is incorrect. Triple X syndrome does not have a treatment because you cannot take an X chromosome away from every cell in the body
Does the Y chromosome in Klinefelters syndrome look like the X chromosome?
No. People with Klinefelter's syndrome have a normal Y chromosome and 2 normal X chromosomes.
What chromosome is Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome on?

What are four types of chromosomal mutations?
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
Which syndrome is characterized by the XO chromosome abnormality?
Turner Syndrome! Because women with the disorder only have one X chromosome
What are four of chromosomal mutation?

Since someone with Turner's syndrome is X0 if you inactivated the X chromosome you would kill the person.
Is fragile x syndrome sex linked?
Yes. It is found as a mutation on the X chromosome (a sex chromosome) so it is sex linked. The gene for Fragile X is carried on the X chromosome. Because both males (XY) and females (XX) have at least one X chromosome, both can pass on the mutated gene to their children.
