• B. Downs syndrome
• C. Patau syndrome
• D. Edwards syndrome

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Based on the described features: webbed neck, short stature, and low posterior hairline, the condition being referred to is likely Turner syndrome. Turner syndrome is characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome in females, leading to various phenotypic traits.

• Webbed Neck: A common feature due to lymphedema in utero leading to redundant skin.
• Short Stature: Most girls with Turner syndrome grow slower than their peers and have a significantly reduced adult height.
• Low Posterior Hairline: Another physical characteristic often observed in people with Turner syndrome.

Considering the given options, Turner syndrome is the diagnosis that aligns with the physical features presented:

• Turner Syndrome: Consistent with all described features.
• Down Syndrome, Patau Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome: These conditions have distinct phenotypic presentations that do not typically include all the features mentioned.

Therefore, the correct diagnosis is Turner syndrome.
