Down Syndrome<br />
Down syndrome is the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition. It occurs in<br />
one out of every 691 live births with more than 400,000 people living with Down syndrome in the<br />
United States.Down syndrome occurs in both boys and girls and all races and economic levels.<br />
People with Down syndrome have an increased risk for certain medical conditions such as<br />
congenital heart defects, respiratory and hearing problems, gastrointestinal disease, Alzheimer's<br />
disease, childhood leukemia, and thyroid conditions. Many of these conditions are treatable, so<br />
most people with Down syndrome lead healthy lives.<br />
While the age of the mother can be a factor, 80% of people with Down syndrome are born to<br />
parents under the age of 35 because more younger women have babies.<br />
Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic condition where a person is born with an extra copy of<br />
chromosome 21. This additional genetic material changes the course of development and causes<br />
the characteristics we have associated with Down Syndrome.One in every 691 babies in the U.S.<br />
is born with Down syndrome, making it the most common chromosomal condition.There are<br />
more than 400,000 people living with Down syndrome in the U.S.<br />
Down syndrome is usually identified at birth or shortly thereafter. Initially the diagnosis is based<br />
on physical characteristics that are commonly seen in babies with Down syndrome. These<br />
include low muscle tone, a single crease across the palm of the hand, a slightly flattened facial<br />
profile and an upward slant to the eyes. The diagnosis must be confirmed by a chromosome<br />
study (karyotype)
