Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS), also known as 17p- syndrome, is a microdeletion syndrome characterized by an abnormality in the short (p) arm of chromosome 17. [1] It has features including intellectual disability, facial abnormalities, difficulty sleeping, and numerous behavioral problems such as self-harm.
There is considerable variability in the fraction of cells with trisomy 21, both as a whole and tissue-by-tissue. This is the cause of 1–2% of the observed Down syndromes. [4] There is evidence that mosaic Down syndrome may produce less developmental delay, on average, than full trisomy 21. [8]
Chromosome 1 is the designation for the largest human chromosome.Humans have two copies of chromosome 1, as they do with all of the autosomes, which are the non-sex chromosomes.
The variability of phenotype is underscored by the report on a 6 and 9/12-year-old male patient with a de novo chromosome 3q29 microdeletion identified by BAC array comparative genomic hybridization assay (aCGH), with accompanying normal 46,XY high-resolution chromosome analysis.
The results were not released, and Semenya was ruled eligible to compete. [179] In 2019, new IAAF rules came into force for athletes like Semenya with certain disorders of sex development (DSDs) requiring medication to suppress testosterone levels in order to participate in 400m, 800m, and 1500m women's events.

A microdeletion syndrome is a syndrome caused by a chromosomal deletion smaller than 5 million base pairs (5 Mb) spanning several genes that is too small to be detected by conventional cytogenetic methods or high resolution karyotyping (2–5 Mb). [1] [2] Detection is done by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
Williams syndrome (WS), also Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS), is a genetic disorder that affects many parts of the body. [2] Facial features frequently include a broad forehead, underdeveloped chin, short nose, and full cheeks. [2]
