Chromosomal, because the person with Klinefelter's would have 47 chromosomes. A genetic disorder would be any disorder having to do with genes, but would not necessarily mean having an extra chromosome.

Is huntingtons a chromosomal or a genetic disease?
Hungtington's disease is a dominant mutation in the gene that codes for the protein 'Huntington' It only affects a single gene, the remainder of the chromosome is unaffected and therefore it is not a chromosomal abnormality

Yes. Marfan syndrome is caused by a defect (or mutation) in the gene that tells the body how to make fibrillin-1.
What are the causes of Noonan syndrome?
Noonan syndrome is caused by the mutation in a particular gene. It is a genetic disorder which means that the child which is born with this disorder, must have been in their parents.
How is usher syndrome inherited?
Usher syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The term autosomal means that the mutated gene is not located on either of the chromosomes that determine a person's sex; in other words, both males and females can have the disorder and can pass along the disorder to a child. The word recessive means that to have Usher syndrome, an individual must receive a mutated form of the Usher syndrome gene from each parent. If a child has a mutation in one Usher syndrome gene but the other gene is normal, he or she is predicted to have normal vision and hearing. Individuals with a mutation in a gene that can cause an autosomal recessive disorder are called carriers, because they "carry" the gene with a mutation but show no symptoms of the disorder. If both parents are carriers of a mutated gene for Usher syndrome, they will have a one-in-four chance of having a child with Usher syndrome with each birth.
What gene is affected in Down Syndrome?
It is the result of a chromosomal abnormality, in which there is an extra chromsome on the chromosome 21 pair. This is call trisomy 21.
Is turners recessive or dominant?
