Turner’s syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting females, caused by the complete or partial absence of one X chromosome (monosomy X, 45,XO). This is a numerical abnormality involving the sex chromosome.
Down’s syndrome is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21, an autosomal numerical abnormality. Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder resulting from a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome, not a numerical abnormality of the chromosome itself. Alkaptonuria is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder.
