Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the codes given below :

List I (Name of disorder or Syndrome)	List II (Description)
(P) Asperger's disorder	(1) Genetic condition affecting males causing cognitive impairment
(Q) Down's syndrome	(2) Trisomy 21 causing MR
(R) Fragile X syndrome	(3) Chromosomal condition affecting females
(S) Turner's syndrome	(4) Difficulty in social interaction

Answer: C

The correct matching is P-4, Q-2, R-1, S-3.

P: Asperger's disorder is marked by difficulty in social interaction without significant delay in language or cognitive development (4).
Q: Down's syndrome is caused by trisomy 21, an extra chromosome 21, and causes intellectual disability (MR) (2).
R: Fragile X syndrome is an X-linked genetic condition that affects males more often and more severely, causing cognitive impairment; it is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability (1).
S: Turner's syndrome (45,X) is a chromosomal condition affecting females who have a single X chromosome (3).

The other codes give the trisomy, the X-linked condition or the female chromosomal condition to the wrong syndrome.
