What else can I help you with?
What is the genetic disorder for having three 21 chromosomes?
down syndrome
Examples of genetic disorders?
There's many different genetic disorders such as: Down Syndrom Canavan Disease Muenke Syndrome Bloom Syndrome etc
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by what?
Additional chromosome
Are there any genetic conditions that can be confused with Down syndrome?
No, there are not. Someone might, but not normally.
Explain the genetic malfunction that leads to Down syndrome?
Nothing really leads to Down Syndrome, it is just an extra chromosome in the 21st pair. (otherwise known as Trisomy 21)
Is down syndrome constitutional?
is down syndrome acquired genetic disease
Can you use a pedigree to help diagnose down syndrome?
A pedigree chart can provide valuable information about the inheritance patterns of genetic conditions within a family, but it is not typically used to diagnose Down syndrome. Down syndrome is usually diagnosed through genetic testing, such as karyotyping, which identifies the presence of an extra chromosome 21. While a pedigree can indicate familial trends in genetic disorders, it does not confirm the presence of Down syndrome in an individual.

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.
If you have a brother or a sister with Down syndrome does this increase the chances of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome?
Having a sibling with Down syndrome does not directly increase the chances of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome. The risk is influenced by maternal age, not family history. If both parents are carriers of the genetic translocation for Down syndrome, the risk may be higher.
What can be diagnosed by examining a karyotype of an individuals white blood cells?
A karyotype of an individual's white blood cells can be used to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome. It can also detect genetic disorders caused by aneuploidy or large structural chromosomal changes.
Name two genetic disorders?
Two genetic disorders are Turner's syndrome and cystic fibrosis.
Is Angelman syndrome the same as Down syndrome?
