Question

Epicanthus skin fold above the eyes and transverse palmer crease are typical symptoms of

• A. Cri-du-chat
• B. Klinefelter's syndrome
• C. Down's syndrome
• D. Turner's syndrome

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Down's syndrome

• The eyes of an individual with Down syndrome might slant upwards a little bit and are almond shaped. They might have small folds of skin at the inner corners, which are called Epicanthal Folds,
• In humans, a single transverse palmar crease is a single crease that extends across the palm of the hand, formed by the fusion of the two palmar creases (known in palmistry as the "heart line" and the "head line") and is found in people with Down syndrome.

So, the correct answer is 'Down's syndrome'.
