Kli(cid:374)efelter"s s(cid:455)(cid:374)dro(cid:373)e- 23rd chromosome has one extra, physically a male but also has marked female traits like enlarged breasts (1 in 1000) Super male syndrome- 23rd chromosome has one extra again, physically a male tends to be taller and more aggressive (1 in 1000) Lesh-nyhan syndrome- in the dna (chemical mix-up) looks normal, behaviour is odd, may want to bite off extremities (1 in 308,000) Do(cid:449)(cid:374)"s s(cid:455)(cid:374)dro(cid:373)e(trisomy-21)- additional chromosome in the 21st pair, prominent facial structure.
