What disease makes a child look like a gnome?
There are many diseases that alter a child's appearance, including Down syndrome, Cri-du-chat syndrome or Lejeune's syndrome, and Williams syndrome. But I think you're referring to one of the many genetic disorders that can cause short stature and asymmetrical limb growth, some of which include dwarfism, Russell Silver Syndrome, chondrodystrophy, and many more. Each of these diseases causes specific changes in the growth and appearance of a child, and all often come with a myriad of health and developmental problems.

What is the future look out for people with klinefelters syndrome?
Most of the Klinefelter Syndrome affected persons can lead a life which could be considered as normal. However, they might have certain problems related to sexual organs, (among others), and some, - but not all -, could be infertile. The reason for this is their extra chromosome. Females have XX chromosomes, Males have XY chromosomes, and Klinefelter syndrome affected males have XXY chromosomes. They often are prescribed testosterone therapy.

Why do boys look like their mothrs and girls like their fathers?
The gender of the child will not be corresponded to the sex of the parents. The child's appearances will just be of the child's genes. In other words it is not meant for a daughter to look like a father and a son to look like a mother, as it can be vice verse.

Can you have the appearance of Down syndrome but not actually have the syndrome?
Who really cares if a child looks normal or not!? God created us all the same, and we shouldn't treat each other differently just because we have a little disability! Calling a disabled child "dumb" or a "retard" is not going to change their life and is only going to hurt their feelings, so why bother?! But the truth is, a child with Down Syndrome is not going to look regular without some major surgery. They will need facial reconstruction, though. But even if you choose to have plastic surgery performed on your child with Down Syndrome or not, just remember to love and take care of him or her. It's the best gift you can give your child, and with the right therapy and attention, your child (and you!) can learn to live a normal, neurotypical life.
