s. Genetic disorders are passed to offspring in four ways:

(1) autosomal dominant, (2) autosomal recessive, (3) sex-linked dominant, or (4) sexlinked recessive.

The nucleus of each cell of the normal body has _____chromosomes or _____ pairs of chromosomes.

46 or 23

____________ is an opening between the right and left atria commonly due to the foramen ovale not closing at birth. Atrial septal defects allow oxygenated blood to be pumped from the left atria to the right atria. This repumping causes an increased workload on the right side of the heart.

Atrial septal defect

_____________________, is a severe type of developmental disorder characterized by a preoccupation with inner thoughts, daydreams, fantasies, and delusions. The cause of autism is unknown, although there may be a physical cause. Treatment is varied but behavioural therapy is always employed.

Autism, also called autistic disorder

______________is a congenital bilateral paralysis that results from inadequate blood or oxygen supply to the brain during fetal development, the birthing process, or infancy. The disorder usually affects motor, or muscle, performance. It is the most common crippler of children. It is characterized by hyperactive reflexes, rapid muscle contraction, and weakness

Cerebral palsy

__________ and _________consists of one or more splits in the upper lip and palate. This anomaly leads to difficulty in feeding and, if not repaired, in speaking. Several surgeries may be necessary to completely correct the condition

Cleft lip and palate

________________ is a stricture or narrowing that causes high blood pressure proximal to the stricture and lower blood pressure distal to the stricture. This increases the heart's workload.

Coarctation of the aorta

________________ (CHD) is an abnormality of the hip joint resulting in the femoral head slipping out of the normal position. It is usually obvious in the first few months of life

Congenital hip dislocation

____________________ is the transmission of the rubella virus across the placenta to the fetus. This may cause spontaneous abortion or an infant with birth defects. Prevention includes immunization against rubella.

Hirschsprung's disease

__________________ is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. It is usually caused by obstruction of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid due to congenital defect, infection, or tumors. The head of the affected child enlarges as the fluid accumulates.

___________________ is a connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta of the normal fetal heart that should close at birth. In this condition, oxygenated blood is shunted from the aorta back to the pulmonary artery

Patent ductus arteriosus

____________________is a recessive genetic disorder leading to faulty metabolism of the protein phenylalanine, which builds up in the blood and becomes present in the urine. It is toxic to the brain cells and causes intellectual disability. Diagnosis is made by mandatory PKU testing at birth

Phenylketonuria (PKU)

_____________ is a narrowing of the outlet of the lower end of the stomach. It is caused by a thickening of the pyloric sphincter. This slows the emptying of the stomach and may cause vomiting

_________________________ is a combination of four defects including pulmonary valve stenosis, right ventricle hypertrophy, ventricle septal defect, and abnormal placement of the aorta. Unoxygenated blood from the right ventricle passes to the left ventricle and circulates to the body. The resulting cyanosis increases with age and activit

Tetralogy of Fallot

_____________is caused by a chromosomal disorder. Affected females have only one X chromosome, rather than the normal XX.

Turner's syndrome

_______________________is the most common solid tumor affecting children and infants. It may be present at birth, but symptoms do not usually appear until age 2 to 4. It is a highly malignant tumor of the kidney. Treatment may involve surgery and chemotherapy.
