Turner's = as usmleasr stated: FSH & LH is up
Klinefelter's = FSH & LH is up, and low testerone
Down's synd= there is no major hormone of that big of importance afer birth, but for diagnostic/screening purpose, you can check for increased beta HCG, increased placental estrogen, and increased alpha fetoprotein
