Genetic Syndromes
Genetic syndromes are medical conditions caused by abnormalities in an individual's DNA. These abnormalities can result from mutations, deletions, or duplications of genes, leading to a variety of physical, developmental, and behavioral symptoms. Examples of genetic syndromes include Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Marfan syndrome.
Individuals with genetic syndromes may experience a range of challenges, including learning difficulties, growth issues, and distinctive physical features. Diagnosis often involves genetic testing, which can help identify the specific syndrome and guide treatment options. Early intervention and support can improve the quality of life for those affected.
