Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"List the genetic disorders found on chromosome 11. What do you know about any of those disorders?
"
Answer:
Autism, chromosome 11 duplication syndrome, Jacobsen syndrome.
Explanation:
Autism is related to some changes in chromosome 11, although it is characterized as a psychological disorder. It is usually identified in childhood, between 1 and a half years and 3 years, although the initial signs sometimes appear in the first months of life. The disorder affects the child's communication and ability to learn and adapt.
Chromosome 11 Duplication Syndrome is a chromosomal alteration that interferes with child development, which may trigger motor, cognitive, language and socialization delays, inability to perform simple motor activities, weight and height deficit, facial dimorphisms and congenital malformations.
Jacobsen's syndrome is an inherited disorder caused by the deletion of a specific region of the long arm of chromosome 11, which covers the 11q24.1 band. Patients with this disorder have a phenotype characterized by delayed neuropsychomotor development, craniofacial anomalies, diverse heart defects and blood dyscrasias. Signs and symptoms include: Heart defects; mental delay; difficulty feeding in childhood; attention deficit; hyperactivity; skeletal malformation, among others.
