Question 14

when chromosomes differ by cell (e.g., some cells are XXY and some are XY)

occurs when a person has two or more genetically different sets of cells in his or her body.

Answer 14

Mosaicism

Question 15

an organism or tissue where the cells have distinct genomes and all of the cells originated from the same fertilized zygote

Answer 15

Mosaicism

Question 16

disorders are caused by mosaicism

Answer 16

• Ichthyosis with confetti.
• Klinefelter syndrome.
• Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
• Mosaic Down syndrome.
• Pallister-Killian mosaic syndrome.
• Ring chromosome 14 syndrome.
• SOX2 anophthalmia syndrome.
• Triple X syndrome.
• Trisomy 18.
• Turner syndrome.

Question 17

This is a disorder that causes red, scaly skin all over

Answer 17

Ichthyosis with confetti

Question 18

. This syndrome can cause low amounts of testosterone. This can lead to problems with sexual development and other issues.

Answer 18

Klinefelter syndrome

Question 19

• Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. This disorder causes a red birthmark called a port-wine stain. It also causes excess growth of soft tissues and bones, as well as abnormal veins.

Answer 19

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome

Question 20

the body.

Answer 21

Pallister-Killian mosaic syndrome

Question 22

This condition causes seizures, intellectual disability, and delayed speech and motor development.

Answer 22

Ring Chromosome 14 syndrome

Question 23

This is a rare disorder that can cause a child to be born without eyes. It can also cause seizures, brain problems, and delayed growth.

Answer 23

SOX2 Anophthalmia Syndrome

Question 24

This condition is caused by an extra X chromosome in each of a woman’s cells. It can cause learning disabilities, delayed language skills, and problems with motor skills and muscles.

Answer 24

Triple X syndrome

Question 25

This condition can cause slow growth in the womb, heart defects, a small head, and other defects. Only a small number of children with this condition live past their first year.

Answer 25

Trisomy 18

Question 26

This is a condition in women that causes short height, ovarian problems, lack of fertility, and heart defects.

Answer 26

• Turner syndrome.

Question 27

This condition is caused by a chromosomal difference (mosaic), in which some chromosomes are XY (male), and some are XO – meaning they are missing a second sex chromosome.

Answer 27

Mixed gonadal dysgenesis
(MGD)

Question 28

This results in the child being born with an undescended testicle on one side, and an underdeveloped sex organ on the other side.
Children with this condition may require hormone treatment and need regular monitoring of their growth and development.

Answer 28

Mixed gonadal dysgenesis
(MGD):

Question 29

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS): People with AIS are genetically male (meaning they have XY chromosomes), but their bodies are resistant to sex hormones for male development.
This causes the development of genitals that are either completely or partially female.

Answer 29

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS)

Question 30

A child with complete AIS is genetically male but looks like a girl. (This condition is usually not discovered until later). Babies with partial AIS may have both male and female-looking genitalia, such as a large clitoris or testicles that have not descended into the scrotum.

Answer 30
