is William syndrome caused by a mutation
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).
A chromosomal mutation can occur for a variety of reasons. Some people think that DownÕs syndrome is a mutation but it is more an additional chromosome than a mutation.
Translocation. On Chromosome 20.
WAGR syndrome was first described by Miller et al. in 1964. WAGR syndrome is caused by a mutation on chromosome 11 in the 11p13 region.
Yes, Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder. It is not a disease. It is caused by a mutation in fibrillin and is an autosomal dominant mutation. This means that if you have a Marfan causing mutation, you have Marfan, and you have a 50/50 chance of passing it on to any children you may have. Severity of Marfan can vary within a family, even though all affected family members have the same mutation. It can not skip generations.
Deletion Mutation causes DiGeorges Syndrome.

It's mtfrn gene mutation
Yes
Chromosomal mutation can have lasting impacts on the person who this happens to. A version of a chromosomal mutation is the mutation that leads to Down's Syndrome.
No, CFC syndrome is caused by a sporadic mutation.
The genetic mutation responsible for Marfan was discovered in 1991.
translocation
Not usually. Only In certain circumstances, can a mutation be passed on to offspring; such as Downs-syndrome.
The phrase is spelled Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome is a disorder caused by a mutation of the chromosomes.
