What is trisomy syndrome?
In a trisomy syndrome, an extra chromosome is present so that the individual has three of a particular chromosome instead of the normal pair.
Is down syndrome a dominant trait or recessive trait?
Down syndrome is neither dominant nor recessive.It is "autosomal" or "other"; it is simply an error in the translation process of Chromosome 21 (three copies instead of two). Instead of 46 chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome will have 47.
Which president had Marfan's Syndrome?
Abraham Lincoln was thought to have Marfan syndrome. This has not been proven however, and many researchers think he may have had a different disorder instead.
Can aspergers be caused by trauma?
Asperger's syndrome, now classified under the broader category of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is considered to have a strong genetic component, and research suggests that it is not caused by trauma. While traumatic experiences can influence behavior and development, they do not cause the neurodevelopmental differences associated with Asperger's. Instead, these differences are thought to arise from a combination of genetic and environmental factors during early brain development.
What is down syndrome disorder?
genetic condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46
Turner's syndrome always results in female offsprings why?
Because people who have Turner syndrome have one X chromosome instead of the two other females have. As they do not have a Y chromosome, they are female.
How does klinefelters occur?
Klinefelter syndrome occurs when a male is born with an extra X chromosome, resulting in a genetic makeup of XXY instead of the typical XY. This chromosomal anomaly typically arises during the formation of sperm or egg cells, where a failure in chromosome separation leads to the extra chromosome. The condition can result in various physical and developmental traits, including reduced testosterone levels and infertility. Klinefelter syndrome is usually diagnosed through genetic testing.
Can the environment cause turner syndrome?
As far as I know, the environment is not believed to be a cause of Turner syndrome.
Could you have been wrongly diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder type 2 instead you have high functioning autism?
Yes
Is Asperger's Syndrome a type of autism?
Asperger's Syndrome is related to autism. Both are in the family of autism spectrum disorders. The two conditions have very similar symptoms, but Asperger's Syndrome is less likely to have a delay in the development of language use. When a child has the symptoms, autism is often diagnosed when IQ is below average, while Asperger's Syndrome is more likely to be diagnosed when IQ is known to be average or above average.
Does keenan cahill have down syndrome?
He may but it's more likely that he has Costello Syndrome, a very rare condition that affects the genes and it causes deformed hands, short stature, and deformity of the face, which fits him very well. It looks like he may have Costello Syndrome instead of Down Syndrome but I could be wrong
How are cells of a person with Down syndrome different from those of a person without the disorder?
In Down syndrome, a person's cells have an extra copy of chromosome 21. In other words, instead of a pair of chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome has three of that chromosome. Down syndrome most often occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis. People with Down syndrome have a degree of mental retardation. Heart defects are also common, but can be treated.
