Rationale:
1. Early signs of hypothyroidism are prolonged jaundice, bradycardia, and hypothermia, and symptoms are not seen until the first few months of life.
2. The typical symptoms of Cushing's disease are not seen until a child is 25 years old. Symptoms include moon face and fat pads over the shoulders and back, referred to a buffalo hump.
3. Turner's syndrome is characterized by a webbed neck, lymphedema, and a low hairline in the infant.
4. Klinefelter's syndrome is seen in boys.
