PHYSIQUE IN CHROMOSOMAL DISORDERS.
- Authors
Buday, József
- Abstract
The physiques of a relatively large sample of the Down's syndrome (DS) subjects and some with gonosomal disorders, such as 46Xq del., XXX, XXY, XYY syndromes were compared in this study. The proportionality profile and the somatotype were analysed in the subjects of the same age. Some characteristic differences were observed in the proportionality profiles between the DS and the gonosome disorders although the differences are seldom significant. The somatotype seems to be more variable in the gonosomal disorders than in the DS. Significant differences were found between the somatotype of the DS subjects and those with gonosomal disorders.
