Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosome abnormality among liveborn infants. It is the most frequent form of intellectual disability caused by a microscopically demonstrable chromosomal aberration. DS is characterized by a variety of dysmorphic features, congenital malformations, and other health problems and medical conditions.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21. This extra genetic material causes the developmental changes and physical features of Down syndrome. Down syndrome varies in severity among individuals, causing lifelong intellectual disability and developmental delays.
Down Syndrome
Down syndrome was first described by an English physician, John Langdon Down, in 1866, but its association with chromosome 21 was established almost 100 years later by Dr. Jerome Lejeune in Paris. It is the presence of all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 that causes Down syndrome, the most common chromosomal abnormality occurring in humans.[1] It is also found that the most ...

A history of possible physical or sexual abuse. Symptoms of atlantoaxial instability include the following: About 13-14% of patients have radiographic evidence of atlantoaxial instability but no symptoms. Only 1-2% of patients have symptoms that require treatment. Symptoms include easy fatigability, neck pain, limited neck mobility or head tilt ...
About Down Syndrome
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one in every 775 babies in the United States is born with Down syndrome, making Down syndrome the most common chromosomal condition. About 5,000 babies with Down syndrome are born in the United States each year. -De Graaf, G., Buckley, F., & Skotko, B. (2024, May 3).
Down Syndrome
What it is. Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra copy of chromosome 21. Chromosomes are small "packages" of genes in the body's cells, which determine how the body forms and functions. When babies are growing, the extra chromosome changes how their body and brain develop. This can cause both physical and mental challenges.
Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome)
Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal anomaly in humans, affecting about 5,000 babies born each year and more than 350,000 people in the United States. Also known as Down syndrome, trisomy 21 is a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome. Most babies inherit 23 chromosomes from each parent, for a total of 46 chromosomes.

About Down Syndrome
People who have Down syndrome have learning difficulties, mental disability, a characteristic facial appearance, and poor muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. Individuals with Down syndrome also have an increased risk for having heart defects, digestive problems such as gastroesophageal reflux or celiac disease, and hearing loss.
Down Syndrome Symptoms and Health Challenges
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial and physical features, developmental delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and an increased risk of many diseases and disorders, including heart disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and infertility. The types and severity of symptoms can vary from one person ...

The integrated screening test is done in two parts during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. The results are combined to estimate the risk that your baby has Down syndrome. First trimester. Part one includes a blood test to measure PAPP-A and an ultrasound to measure nuchal translucency. Second trimester.
Symptoms and Characteristics of Down Syndrome
Trisomy 21: In this type of Down syndrome, each cell in the body has three separate copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual 2 copies. About 95% of people with Down syndrome have this type. Translocation Down syndrome: This occurs when an extra part or a whole extra chromosome 21 is present, but it is attached to a different chromosome ("trans-located") rather than being a separate ...
About Down Syndrome
Down syndrome is a condition in which a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. The condition is associated with intellectual disability, a characteristic facial appearance, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. People with Down syndrome may have a variety of birth defects. About half of all affected children are born with a ...

Neuromuscular hypotonia.
