Many men with Klinefelter syndrome are never diagnosed, whereas Down syndrome is usually recognised at birth, Turner syndrome is often not recognised until adolescence, and Down syndrome is usually recognised at birth.

Explanation:

  • The presence of three 21 chromosomes instead of two causes Down's syndrome. This alters the appearance of children and can have an impact on speech, mobility, strength, muscle tone (hence babies are more 'floppy'), heart defects, and a variety of other issues. The capacities of each youngster are unique.
  • Only one X chromosome, rather than two, causes Turner's Syndrome. This suggests a girl will not reach puberty, will be exceedingly short, and will have cardiac abnormalities.
