[Red District] Purity Sorry can't figure out how to post images, but here's the puzzle in text -
Purity
Medicorp is sure, that as temporal agents you are familiar with the common genetic defects of your time. These and similar mutations have increased due to external factors beyond the city's control. Deus City geneticists are actively trying to prevent these defects from re-entering our genome in any way possible such as fetus elimination, research into genetic alteration, and reduction of the population of affected individuals. Please familiarize yourself with these mutations and defects as a primary way to eliminate them is to reduce their numbers before the events of 2013. Poor research and incorrect submissions will be interpreted as an attempt to subvert the database.
Identify the Following Genetic Disorders by their common name:
1) deletion 11.21 chromosome 7
2) monosomy x
3) chromosome 4 flaw
4) chromosome 15q partial deletion, paternal
5) (SNP) (A to T) of the B-globin gene
6) trisomy 21
7) mutation in the TCOF1 gene, at chromosome 5q32-q33.1
8 ) mutations in a LMNA (Lamin A protein) gene on chromosome 1.
9) deletion of genetic material on the p arm of chromosome 5
10) mutations in the FBN1 gene
11) XXY
12) mutations in the CFTR gene
13) malfunctioning DMD gene
14) defects in a gene on chromosome 15
EDIT: Answers are now numbered in order
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8 )
9)
10)
11)
12)
13)
14)
EDIT: There are now no longer two answer spaces for 14. Mysterious...

Guesses? Here are my thoughts so far -
1. CHARGE Syndrome
2. Turner Syndrome
3. Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
4. Prader-Willi Syndrome
5. Sickle-cell Disease
6. Down Syndrome
7. Treacher-Collins Syndrome
8. Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
9. Cri-du-chat Syndrome
10. Marfon Syndrome
11. Klinefelter's Syndrome
12. Cystic Fibrosis
13. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
14. Angelman Syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome
If anyone has a lot of credits and karma to burn feel free to steal...

Wow, thanks man. If I had to say which one's I was least sure about I would say #3 facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, #8 Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, #14 the second Prader-Willi Syndrome, but who knows if they were right or wrong

Hey, just write to Deuscitybugs. I'm sure they'll refund your credits and change your karma. The puzzle wasn't up right. I think it might have been impossible to solve. Just let them know what happened...
Edit: Just messaged you the link

foo's in there right now (pm) and is most likely there to fix the glitch. I wouldn't try the puzzle again until he's left. Hopefully as soon as he's finished with Purity, he'll check deuscitybugs.

It's in the only location in the red district -"Medicorp Central Offices." Hmm...it's weird you're not seeing it since you're red. Some locations require a high level of prestige to view, maybe that's it?

Here are my guesses; some are the same as TGI Fridays', some are different:1) deletion 11.21 chromosome 7
- Williams syndrome, Williams-Beuren syndrome
2) monosomy X
- Turner syndrome, Ullrich-Turner syndrome
3) chromosome 4 flaw
- Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, Wolf syndrome, deletion 4p, 4p-syndrome
4) chromosome 15q partial deletion, paternal
- Prader-Willi syndrome
5) (SNP) (A to T) of the B-globin gene
- Sickle-cell disease
6) trisomy 21
- Down syndrome, Down's syndrome
7) mutation in the TCOF1 gene, at chromosome 5q32-q33.1
- Treacher Collins syndrome, Franceschetti-Zwahlen-Klein syndrome
mutations in a LMNA (Lamin A protein) gene on chromosome 1
- Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
9) deletion of genetic material on the p arm of chromosome 5
- Cri-du-chat syndrome
10) mutations in the FBN1 gene
- Marfan syndrome
11) XXY
- Klinefelter's syndrome, 47,XXY, XXY syndrome
12) mutations in the CFTR gene
- Cystic fibrosis
13) malfunctioning DMD gene
- Muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy
14) defects in a gene on chromosome 15
- Bloom syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease, Angelman syndrome I tried this:Williams syndrome
Turner syndrome
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome
Prader-Willi syndrome
Sickle-cell disease
Down syndrome
Treacher Collins syndrome
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
Cri-du-chat syndrome
Marfan syndrome
Klinefelter's syndrome
Cystic fibrosis
Muscular dystrophy
Tay-Sachs disease And it got me this:* Internal Error
* Internal Error
* Internal Error
* Internal Error
* Internal Error Edit: This didn't work either:Williams syndrome
Turner syndrome
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
Prader-Willi syndrome
Sickle-cell disease
Down syndrome
Treacher Collins syndrome
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
Cri-du-chat syndrome
Marfan syndrome
Klinefelter's syndrome
Cystic fibrosis
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Bloom syndrome I got exactly the same error message, though. Perhaps the number of "internal error"s doesn't have anything to do with the number of incorrect guesses?

Hey Shuri, you're green, how'd you get into the puzzle? I'm green and it wouldn't let me in - my karma needed to be more red,
