Missing or partially missing Google is your friend.
Turner syndrome is a condition that affects only females. It results when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing. Turner syndrome can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop, and heart defects.
Williams syndrome is caused by a missing segment (a 'deletion') of genetic material on chromosome 7. These deletions occur randomly. About one in every 20,000 babies is born with Williams syndrome. Males and females are equally affected, and the condition is found across all races and countries. It is believed that some of these genes are involved in the production of elastin.
Cri-du-chat syndrome is a chromosomal deletion syndrome in which part of chromosome 5 is missing. Symptoms include low birth weight and a small head with many abnormal features, including a round face, small jaw, wide nose, widely separated eyes, crossed eyes (strabismus), and abnormally shaped ears set low in the head. Often the infant seems limp. Webbed fingers and toes (syndactyly) and heart defects are common. There are significant limitations in mental and physical development.
Prader-Willi syndrome is a chromosomal deletion syndrome in which part of chromosome 15 is missing or malfunctioning. Obesity, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, and intellectual disability are common.
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a chromosomal deletion syndrome in which part of chromosome 4 is missing. Children who survive into their 20s typically have severe disabilities. Many affected children die during infancy.
and
Etc.
There are many chromosomal deletion syndromes.
