Down syndrome is a polyploidy (three chromosome 21s)and is considered to be a somatic disorder.
The other three are genetic because they are present in the form of a defective allele on achromosome.
The most common symptom of a genetic disorder is the abnormality in chromosome structure or number. People with a genetic disorder have a distinct physical or facial feature like abnormally shaped ears.

Here are some examples of diseases and genetic disorders that can be inherited from birth or passed on to the next generation: Diabetes 1, AIDS, Tuberculosis, Neurofibromatosis, and Huntington's disease.

# They are SO numerous: Angelman's syndrome, Huntington's Disease, Hemophilia, Turner Syndrome, Tay-Schs disease, sickle cell anemia, Praeder-Willi Syndrome, neurofibromatosis, Klinefelter syndrome, phenylketonuria, Down's Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, celiac disease, color blindness, cri du chat, Canavan disease, Duchenne muscular distrophy, Charcot-Marie Tooth Disease, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, achondroplasia and many, many more.
Sex-linked disorders are those that are inherited from genes located on the sex chromosomes, X or Y in humans. Some examples of X-linked disorders are Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, hemophilia and red-green colorblindness. An example of a Y-linked disorder is called hairy ears.
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.
Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder.
My daughter had Cystic Fibrosis and Down Syndrome. She died a little over a year ago at the age of 10.5 years.
No.
Hemophilia and Rett Syndrome.
No, Down's syndrome is only a human genetic disorder. Those with the disorder have an extra chromosome. Raccoons do not get this particular genetic disorder.
Anyone can get Marfans syndrome, it is a genetic disorder.
