Turner syndrome - Correct answer-A chromosomal disorder in females in which either
an *X chromosome* is missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or part of one X
chromosome is deleted.
Tay-Sachs Disease - Correct answer-A human genetic disease caused by a recessive
allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the brain.
Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually
become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within a few years.
Down syndrome - Correct answer-A condition of mild to severe intellectual disability and
associated physical disorders caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21
Diabetes Insipidus - Correct answer-Antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately, or
the kidney is resistant to its effect. The *serum sodium is often elevated* due to excess
free water losses.
In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't
properly concentrate urine.
Cardiac Valve Disease Process - Correct answer-In heart valve disease, one or more of
the valves in your heart doesn't work properly. Regurgitation (or leakage of the valve).
When the valve(s) do not close completely, it causes blood to flow backward through
the valve. This reduces forward blood flow and can lead to volume overload in the heart.
Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the valve(s) opening becomes narrowed, it
limits the flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart is forced to pump blood
with increased force to move blood through the narrowed or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Cardiac Valve Complications - Correct answer-Heart valve disease can cause many
complications, including:
* Heart failure.
* Stroke.
