The correct Answer is:
To identify the genetic disorder based on the provided features, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Features We have the following features to consider: 1. Short statured with a small round head 2. Big and wrinkled tongue 3. Congenital heart disease 4. Retarded physical, psychomotor, and mental development 5. Broad palm and characteristic palm crease ### Step 2: Compare with Known Genetic Disorders Next, we will compare these features with known genetic disorders: - **Klinefelter Syndrome**: Typically presents in males with an extra X chromosome. Symptoms may include tall stature, reduced muscle tone, and breast development, but not the features listed above. - **Turner Syndrome**: Affects females with a missing X chromosome. Symptoms include short stature and heart defects, but it does not typically include a big and wrinkled tongue or broad palm with characteristic creases. - **Down Syndrome**: Caused by trisomy of the 21st chromosome. Common features include: - Short stature with a small round head - Big and wrinkled tongue - Congenital heart disease - Retarded physical, psychomotor, and mental development - Broad palm and characteristic palm crease ### Step 3: Identify the Correct Disorder Based on the features analyzed, the symptoms align closely with Down Syndrome. The presence of a small round head, big and wrinkled tongue, congenital heart disease, and developmental delays are characteristic of Down Syndrome. ### Conclusion The genetic disorder identified based on the provided features is **Down Syndrome**. ---
