Question

What genetic disorder is associated with symptoms including hypotonia, poor feeding, developmental delay, seizures, hearing loss, liver cysts (hepatic dysfunction), and bone stippling in infants?

A) Zellweger syndrome
B) Down syndrome
C) Cystic fibrosis
D) Phenylketonuria (PKU)

Answer 1

The genetic disorder with symptoms like hypotonia, developmental delay, and liver cysts in infants is Zellweger syndrome.

Step-by-step explanation:

The genetic disorder associated with symptoms including hypotonia, poor feeding, developmental delay, seizures, hearing loss, liver cysts (hepatic dysfunction), and bone stippling in infants is A) Zellweger syndrome. Zellweger syndrome is a rare, congenital disorder characterized by the reduction or absence of functional peroxisomes in the cells. It falls under a group of disorders called the peroxisome biogenesis disorders that lead to developmental delays, distinct facial features, and other abnormalities. The other options provided, such as Down syndrome or Cystic fibrosis, do not match the combination of symptoms listed.
