         <description><![CDATA[<div>Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder that occurs when a baby is born with more than the average amount (most of the time, 3) of Chromosome 21. The almost 6 million affected globally all vary in appearance, ability and personality. Learning disabilities are more prone to people with Down Syndrome and they have a lower immunity to viruses, which causes them to get sick quite a lot, especially in early childhood. Also common within this disorder is gut, heart and bone problems, along with Hypothyroidism and Osteoporosis. Down Syndrome is neither sex linked nor a mutation, and is not dominant or recessive. There is no specific treatments for this as every individual is affected differently and needs different medication for different defects.<br><br>www.healthdirect.gov.au/down-syndrome<br>www.thearc.org/learn-about/down-syndrome/diagnosis</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div> </div><div>Fragile X syndrome is a genetic chromosome abnormalities disorder that requires a medical diagnosis.<br>Fragile X syndrome is a Genetic condition that causes mild to severe intellectual disability in both male and females. The syndrome also causes behavioral and learning challenges and various physical characteristics <br>Some of the symptoms of Fragile X syndrome include delays in talking large ears, speech impairment, anxiety, double jointed, enlarged head, enlarged testicles, flat feet, lazy eye, long thin face, prominent jaw, scoliosis, single line on palm, sleep disorder, sunken chest, or tremor some people have seizures. Physical features would include large ears, a long face, a prominent jaw and forehead and flat feet. Some of the behavioral features are aggression, hyperactivity, impulsivity, nonsense word repetition, repetitive movements, self-harm or persistent repetition of words or actions. The Developmental features are learning disability or speech delay in the child. The Muscular features would be flaccid muscles or problems with coordination  </div><div>Fragile X syndrome is caused by the expansion or “lengthening” of the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome which is known as a gene mutation. The X chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes. When the gene lengthens it causes the switch off of a production of a protein that is involved in the brains development and other functions. <br> Treatments that can be used to treat the learning disability are Behaviour Therapy, Medications like Sedative, Muscle Relaxant, Antipsychotic, Cognition-enhancing medication and Vitamin and specialists like Paediatrician, Medical Geneticist, Speech therapist, Occupational Therapist, Clinical Psychologist, Physiotherapist and Neurologist <br><br></div><div><br><br><a href="https://fragilex.org.au/what-is-fragile-x/">https://fragilex.org.au/what-is-fragile-x/</a><br>Google Fact Sheet</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Progeria<br>it causes children to age rapidly and is extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder. <br>Children may live to mid - teens or early twenties, carriers don't live long enough to be able to reproduce.<br>signs of this disorder include - a fragile body, a bigger head than normal, visible veins, high - pitched voice, slow tooth growth , ears that stick out, hair loss, loss of fat, small face, loss of eyesight, wrinkled skin.<br>A single mistake in a certain gene causes it make an abnormal protein, when this cell uses protein called progeria, they break down quicker. <br>The doctor may prescribe drugs to lower cholesterol or prevent blood clots. There is no cure as such but a kind of cancer drug FTIs may fix the damaged cells.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Haemophilia is a rare genetic disorder where the patient's blood cannot clot properly. This leads to excessive bleeding at even minor injuries. It is carried by the X chromosome and is recessive. Because of this, it is extremely rare in women, since it requires two haemophiliac X-chromosomes and therefore two carrying parents (including a haemophiliac father). There are three types labelled A, B and C, each referring to the absence of a particular clotting factor. Treatment generally involves medication that supplies this protein as the body is unable. In extreme cases of haemophilia, bleeding can occur in the joints, leading to arthritis later in life. Measures have been taken in modern medication to reduce the potential for this.</div>]]></description>
