How do genetic disorders present differently in female infants?
Genetic disorders can present differently in female infants due to the presence of two X chromosomes. Conditions like Turner Syndrome and Rett Syndrome are examples of genetic disorders that predominantly affect females. Turner Syndrome occurs when one of the X chromosomes is missing or partially missing, while Rett Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene, which is located on the X chromosome.
