These treatments are more effective if the symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome are diagnosed early. Testosterone therapy is available in patches, gels, and injections to deepen the voice, improve muscle mass, and improve the growth of facial and pubic hair of individuals with Klinefelter syndrome. To counter infertility in individuals with the condition, in vitro fertilization methods such as testicular sperm extraction with intracytoplasmic

Williams syndrome is a rare, genetic disease affecting 1 out of 8,000 newborns (Williams syndrome, 2008). Caused by the deletion of several genes, there is no cure or treatment for it (Genetic Science Learning Center, 2014). While patients can live productive lives, they still face many difficulties in terms of their health and social skills. This condition is caused by the deletion of several genes located on the long arm (q arm) of at least one strand of chromosome 7. Some of these genes include

Down syndrome is a situation in which a person is born with too many copies of the twenty- first DNA segment. Every human being has a total of twenty-three genetic factors, in which about fifty percent are paternal. This disability has three causes which include Trisomy twenty-one, Mosaic Down syndrome, and Translocation Down syndrome with Trisomy twenty-one being the primary. Many people feel Down syndrome is hereditary but this carries a very small percent of proof. Down syndrome does not affect

Down syndrome is a birth defect caused by a genetic disorder that affects 350,000 people in the United States. It is caused by abnormalities in the genes and is not inherited, meaning that parents do not pass this onto their children. Genetics is the study of heredity or how certain traits are passed from parents to their children. Genes are the basic unit of heredity. Cells are the building blocks of your body and each one of us has more than 100 trillion cells. Our genes are located in chromosomes

Asperger’s Syndrome In today’s society, Asperger’s Syndrome is being talked about, and seen, more than ever, from television shows, such as Parenthood, to magazine articles, and of course in the inclusive classroom. Throughout this paper we will be looking at where Asperger’s Syndrome originated, some of the characteristics and causes, as well as ways in which teachers and parents can better deal with a child that has Asperger’s Syndrome. Asperger’s Syndrome is found under Autistic Spectrum

This disorder or syndrome is somewhat similar to the one before. Asperger Syndrome is a relatively new condition to be added to the range of autism disorders (Searle). In both cases, individuals with Autism and Asperger find it hard to communicate with others. People with Asperger Syndrome are not only introvert, but also reserved .Unlike people with ADHD; most of them do not necessarily need to be alone what happens is that when they are not alone is that same social interaction which brings difficulties

Asperger syndrome is a syndrome when a person has a range of neurological differences causing them to behave differently than most people. Aspergers is a form of autism. When dealing with a person who as Asperger's they choose to say they have aspergers and not asperger's syndrome. Each person who has Aspergers is different, they all are very unique cases. Some medical professionals do not know the exact cause of Asperger Syndrome but they have a strong feeling it involves genetics, and research

Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue1. It can present as a variety of phenotypes that affect the skeletal, cardiovascular and occular systems. Arachnodactaly, scoliosis, pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum, crowded teeth, aortic problems and myopia are all common presentations1. It is inherited as autosomal dominant disorder2. De novo mutation occurs in about 25% of all Marfan syndrome cases3. It is estimated that in New Zealand Marfan syndrome affects

Cushing’s Syndrome Cushing’s Disease or Cushing’s Syndrome? Aren’t they the same thing? What are they even? Cushing’s disease is a medical condition; a disorder of the pituitary gland causes it to create too much ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) which in turn leads to overproduction of cortisol. Cushing’s Syndrome is a symptom of Cushing’s disease; as well as of other conditions, whether endogenous (originating from inside the body) or exogenous (originating from outside the body). Pathophysiology

the average age range for mothers giving birth is 20-34. With the current up rise of babies being born to young mothers, I could not help but think about how age plays a factor into birth effects. Down syndrome is the most common single cause of human birth defects. The most common form of Down syndrome is known as trisomy 21, a genetic condition where individuals have 47 chromosomes in each cell instead of 46. Trisomy 21 is caused by an error in cell division called nondisjunction, which leaves a sperm
