What are examples of genetic disorders that is caused by insertion of extra codons in the x sex chromosome?

Answer 1

The phenomenon of having an extra chromsome is called anueploidy. Depending on the chromosome of which the extra copy exists, there are many disorders.

Down Snydrome is the most common disorder associated with an extra autosomal chromosome, but it is not the only one. The other condintions that come from extra copies of an autosome (non-sex chromosome) that result in the most live births are:

• Edward's Syndrome from an extra copy of 18 and
• Patau syndrome which is caused by an extra 13.

As for sex chromosomes,

• an extra X chromosome results in Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY) in males and
• metafemale or XXX syndrome in women.
• Males with an extra Y are simply refered to as having XYY syndrome.
