These cells produce specific chemicals like serotonin, substance P, neuropeptide K, and neurokinin A. Enterochromaffin cells can be found in the intestines, appendix, rectum, lungs, stomach, pancreas, and thyroid. The carcinoid syndrome causes facial flushing, diarrhea and heart valve abnormalities. How Carcinoid Syndrome Causes Facial Flushing The facial flushing caused by carcinoid syndrome varies with the location of the tumor. The most common flush occurs in the head and neck area in response to excitement, exercise, drinking alcohol, and eating. It usually lasts only minutes. The flushing is caused by the sudden release of the chemicals produced by the enterochromaffin cells. Carcinoid syndrome is diagnosed by a specialized urine test that measures a chemical called 5-HIAA. Treatment of Facial Flushing With Carcinoid Syndrome

By the late 1950s, researchers discovered that men with Klinefelter syndrome, as this group of symptoms came to be called, had an extra sex chromosome, XXY instead of the usual male arrangement, XY. In the early 1970s, researchers around the world sought to identify males having the extra chromosome by screening large numbers of newborn babies. One of the largest of these studies, sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), checked the chromosomes of more than 40,000 infants. Based on these studies, the XXY chromosome arrangement appears to be one of the most common genetic abnormalities known, occurring as frequently as 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 male births. Although the syndrome's cause, an extra sex chromosome, is widespread, the syndrome itself-the set of symptoms and characteristics that may result from having the extra chromosome-is uncommon. Many men live out their lives without ever even suspecting that they have an additional chromosome.

Some conditions associated with Klinefelter are hypothyroidism, infertility, testicular cancer, and an increased risk for male breast cancer. What are some symptoms?: Chromosomes and Klinefelter syndrome, 47XXY: People typically have two sex chromosomes in each cell. Females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y. Males with Klinefelter syndrome most often have a single extra copy of the X chromosome, for a total of 47 chromosomes per cell; this is referred to as (47,XXY.) Some men with Klinefelter syndrome have the extra X chromosome in only some of their cells; this is called "mosaic 46,XY/47,XXY." Extra copies of the X chromosome interfere with male sexual development and testicular functioning, thus explaining some of the conditions outlined above.

Several different genes appear to be involved, but scientists are not certain exactly which ones are linked to the disease since different genes seem to play a role in different people. For example: There is one gene that predisposes Caucasians to the disease. Other genes are linked to Sjogren's syndrome in people of Japanese, Chinese, and African American descent.

A flawed gene (or genes) in T cells is responsible for hyper-IgM syndrome. The faulty T cells do not give B cells a signal they need to switch from making IgM to making IgA and IgG. Most cases of hyper-IgM syndrome are linked to the X chromosome. Because boys carry only one X chromosome, unlike girls whose second X chromosome helps to protect against the disease, more boys than girls have IgM syndrome. What are the symptoms of hyper-IgM syndrome?

Extractions: May 2, 2010 Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt ’s Twins Have Down Syndrome? Online Chatter about BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE 's babies Knox and Vivienne is heartbreaking. According to National Enquirer , gossips claim BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE's 21-month-old twins are suffering from Down syndrome. Bloggers say the children appear to have the developmental disorder. Children with the Down syndrome genetic disorder are detected by developmental delays physical characteristics, include rounded face, flattened profiles and upward slanted eyes. According to The National Institute of Health , a 35-year-old woman has a 1 in 400 chance of having a child with DS, which means, mathematically, there is 0.000625 percent chance that both twins, with different DNA, would have DS reports Babble. ”They hate that their kids are under such intense observation. It’s very difficult for them to deal with. As far as their concerned, Knox and Vivienne are perfect. Brad and Angie aren’t the type to sweep sensitive issues under the carpet,” a friend of the couple says. “The twins are healthy, but if there were medical problems with them, I think Brad and Angie would subtly try to destigmatize the issue by not hiding them.”

Most people with Down syndrome have an entire extra #21 chromosome in every cell of their body - a condition called trisomy 21. People can also have Down syndrome as a result of an extra #21 in only some of their cells (called Mosaic Down syndrome ) or because two of their chromosomes are stuck together, a condition called a translocation. Pronunciation: "chrome" "o""sew""m" Examples: Down syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome number 21.
