Pierpont Syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder that only affects less than, I believe, 7 people in the entire world. (only 3-5 living, I think) It has several symptoms that are usually present at birth, such as: poor hearing, poor vision, scoliosis, hip dysplasia, cannot eat, breathing problems, fatty tissue deposits on the ends of fingers and toes, certain distinct facial features; and, later in life, they usually cannot walk or talk and grow very slowly.

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is also known in the medical community as Ekbom Syndrome and Wittmaack-Ekbom Syndrome. Anxietas Tiblarum and Anxietas Tibialis are also medical names for Restless Leg Syndrome.
Cri du chat syndrome is a rare disorder which affects persons missing a part of chromosome 5. Some other names are cat cry syndrome, 5P deletion syndrome, and monosomy 5P.
Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
As far as we know right now, there is no cure for Pierpont Syndrome. However, it is not impossible for the person to live a happy life and enjoy doing some activities that the average person would do as well. The life expectancy for a Pierpont patient is not a very long one, however, and I wish there was more being done to find a cure for this disorder. Unfortunately, with so few people being affected, there is not much awareness, and therefore not many people willing to research it.
