Turner Syndrome: This condition affects females who have only one X chromosome (45,X) instead of two. It can lead to short stature, delayed puberty, infertility, heart defects, and certain learning disabilities.
Klinefelter Syndrome: Males with this condition have an extra X chromosome (47,XXY). Symptoms can include reduced muscle mass, less facial and body hair, enlarged breast tissue, and infertility.
Triple X Syndrome: Females with this condition have an extra X chromosome (47,XXX). Many women with triple X syndrome have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, but it can sometimes cause tall stature, learning disabilities, and developmental delays.
XYY Syndrome: Males with an extra Y chromosome (47,XYY) may be taller than average and have an increased risk of learning difficulties and behavioural problems.
Swyer Syndrome: Individuals with this condition have XY chromosomes but develop female genitalia. They do not develop functional ovaries or testes and require hormone replacement therapy to go through puberty.
