Sure, here are brief descriptions of 10 genetic disorders:
1. Tay-Sachs Disease: A genetic condition that causes damage to nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms like developmental delays, hearing and vision loss usually begin around 6 months of age??.
2. Down Syndrome: A genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21. This extra genetic material causes developmental changes and physical features of Down syndrome[^10^].
3. Fragile X Syndrome: An X-linked genetic condition that results in intellectual disability and characteristic dysmorphic features. It usually presents in early childhood and is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability in boys???.
4. Klinefelter Syndrome: A common genetic condition in which people assigned male at birth have an additional X chromosome. Symptoms may include breast growth, infertility, osteoporosis and learning difficulties.
5. Triple X Syndrome: A genetic disorder characterized by the presence of an additional X chromosome in female children. They are often taller than average girls??[^30^].
6. Turner Syndrome: A condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes is missing or partially missing. Turner syndrome can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop and heart defects.
7. Trisomy 18 (Edward’s Syndrome): A genetic disorder that causes severe developmental delays due to an extra chromosome 18. Low birth weight, abnormally shaped head and other vital organs defects at birth are common symptoms[^20^][^25^
