Turner’s Syndrome Background: Described in 1938 by Henry Turner Cause isolated in 1960 (loss of one/part of one sex chromosome) Physical Symptoms: • Short Stature (mean height < 5 feet) • Failure to develop secondary sex characteristics • Maldeveloped Ovaries (infertility; high risk of ovarian cancer) • Variety of medical problems: cardiovascular, kidney, pancreas, skeletal, thyroid: MARKED VARIABLE EXPRESSIVITY • Minor physical anomalies: webbed neck, low set ears, puffy hands and feet: MARKED VARIABLE EXPRESSIVITY Behavioral Symptoms: • Normal intelligence • Normal personality (problems of self-esteem and body image that may be associated with physical anomalies) • Lowered spatial-visualization and quantitative reasoning • ? Higher stereotypical feminine interests

Prader-Willi Syndrome Cause: • Usually caused by micro deletion in region q 11 -13 of the paternally transmitted chromosome 15. • Several genes in this region are genomically imprinted in the maternal chromosome. • Hence, if there is a paternal deletion in this region, there are no active genes. Symptoms: • Short stature • Mental retardation, learning difficulties • Decreased muscle tone • Hypogonadism • Emotional lability • Unregulated appetite or hyperphagia ( obesity)

Angelman Syndrome Cause: Microdeletion of region q 11 -13 of chromosome 15 that deletes a gene(s) that is paternally imprinted. Symptoms: • Normal development until 6 -12 months, then delayed development • Disproportionate head growth microcephaly • Abnormal EEG, seizures • Marked deficit in language (no words to a few words) but better communication using nonvebral methods (e. g. , facial expressions) • Motoric problems (balance problems, ataxia of gait, hypermotoric actions) • Attention problems (short attention span) • Emotional exuberance (frequent laughter, smiling)
