well. Klinefelter Syndrome is correct. XXY is definitely Klinefelter. Although they could be looking for its other two names which are:

47,XXY

or

XXY Syndrome

Hi. I just recently joined the ranks of T.I.A agents. I was actually drawn to DC by this particular puzzle, since I'm studying genetics. This is the list I've managed to compile:

1) Pontocerebellar hypoplasia

2) Turner syndrome

3) Possible choices: Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, Achondroplasia, Huntington's disease, Haemophilia C, Muenke syndrome, and quite a few others...

4) Prader-Willi syndrome

5) Sickle-cell disease (anaemia)

6) Down syndrome (Down's syndrome)

7) Treacher Collins syndrome (Treacher Collins mandibulofacial dysostosis, Franceschetti-Zwahlen-Klein syndrome)

Possible choices: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, AD, 181350 (3); Cardiomyopathy, dilated, 1A, 115200 (3); Lipodystrophy, familial partial, 151660 (3);Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, AR, 604929 (3); Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease,type 2B1, 605588 (3); Muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, type 1B, 159001 (3); Mandibuloacral dysplasia, 248370 (3); Hutchinson-Gilford progeria, 176670 (3); LDHCP syndrome, 608056 (3); Werner syndrome, atypical, 277700 (3); Myopathy, early-onset, and progeroid features, 176670 (3); Restrictive dermopathy, lethal, 275210 (3); Cardiomyopathy, dilated, with quadriceps myopathy, 607920 (3)

9) Cri-du-chat syndrome

10) Possible choices: Marfan syndrome, 154700 (3); Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome,182212 (3); Ectopia lentis, familial, 129600 (3); MASS syndrome, 604308 (3); Weill-Marchesani syndrome, dominant, 608328 (3); Aortic aneurysm, ascending,and dissection (3). --- Most likely Marfan syndrome

11) Klinefelter's syndrome

12) Cystic fibrosis

13) Duchenne muscular dystrophy

14) Possible choices: Tay-Sach(')s disease, Bloom('s) syndrome, Tyrosin(a)emia, Autism --- I'd go for Tay-Sachs

I find some of the pointers a bit too vague. I assume it would be logical to pick the most common or notorious ones. The varying spelling of the diseases also presents a problem.
