Does Klinefelter's syndrome affect a particular population or race?

No race is more likely to spontaneously have issues with meiosis, and as Klinefelter's is not hereditary (anyone with it is infertile and cannot pass on genes) no race will become more likely to have Klinefelter's syndrome. The population of older women who have children is more likely to have Klinefelter's babies. Older women are less likely to miscarry a baby with a chromosomal defect, so more Klinefelter's babies are born to them.


Can medications - such as Valium or Xanax - cause Down syndrome?

Nobody really knows exactly what causes Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome is a condition where a baby is born with an extra chromosome in their DNA. There is some evidence that says having a baby at an older age (40 and above) may have a higher risk of having a Down Syndrome baby. Taking medicines cannot cause you to develop Down Syndrome, because it's something you are born with; however, taking addictive drugs while you are pregnant does cause serious damage in the unborn baby, and many babies born to alcoholics and drug addicts have brain damage. There is a possibility that Down Syndrome could occur if the chromosomes are damaged.

YES! Both in utero and OUT! While the fetus is developing inside the mother both secondhand smoke the pregnant woman inhales and her own smoking can be detrimental to a baby's health.

After the baby is born the child is more likely to be affected by SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) PLEASE do NOT smoke.
