Q1 · Down Syndrome
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Down syndrome is most commonly due to trisomy 21, usually from meiotic non-disjunction. Features include hypotonia, a single palmar crease, upslanting palpebral fissures, and an increased risk of congenital heart disease and duodenal atresia.
Q2 · Turner Syndrome
MediumExplanation
Turner syndrome (45,X monosomy) presents with short stature, webbed neck, widely spaced nipples, and gonadal dysgenesis with primary amenorrhoea. Coarctation of the aorta and horseshoe kidney are associated findings.
Q3 · Congenital Hypothyroidism
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Untreated congenital hypothyroidism causes cretinism — intellectual disability, growth failure, coarse features, and delayed milestones. Newborn screening allows early thyroxine treatment, which prevents these outcomes, making it a screened condition.
Q4 · Phenylketonuria
HardExplanation
Phenylketonuria (phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency) is managed with a phenylalanine-restricted diet to prevent accumulation and intellectual disability. Early dietary management, guided by newborn screening, allows normal development.
Q5 · Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
HardExplanation
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (X-linked dystrophin deficiency) causes progressive proximal weakness, calf pseudohypertrophy, and Gower's sign, where the child climbs up their legs to stand. Creatine kinase is markedly elevated.
Genetics and Metabolic Disorders sits within Pediatrics, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 5 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 2 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Genetics and Metabolic Disorders marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Pediatrics examiners keep returning to.
