Flashcards
Down syndrome
Down syndrome
A genetic disorder caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome often have intellectual disability, characteristic facial features, heart defects, and other health concerns.
Edwards syndrome
Edwards syndrome
A genetic disorder caused by an extra copy of chromosome 18. Individuals with Edwards syndrome often have severe intellectual disability, multiple physical abnormalities, and a short life expectancy.
Patau syndrome
Patau syndrome
A genetic disorder caused by an extra copy of chromosome 13. Individuals with Patau syndrome often have severe intellectual disability, multiple physical abnormalities, and a very short life expectancy.
