Down Syndrome affects physical growth, facial characteristics, and intellect. Also known as Trisomy 21, it is a genetic mutation in which a person is born with an extra chromosome. These chromosomes are rod-like structures where genetic materials are stored and grouped. The nucleus of each cell in the human body contains 23 chromosomes, half, being inherited from each parent. The added chromosome changes the systematic development, affecting not only physical traits but mental as well. Common…

Although Down syndrome is used as a general term, several forms of this syndrome exist. Trisomy 21 is considered one of the most common genetic chromosomal disorders in the world. This year alone, approximately 6000 children within the United States will be born with this genetic disorder. Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome is defined as a set of physical and mental traits caused by an abnormal gene mutation that happens before birth.

Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder where a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. Down syndrome is a form of mental retardation. In the United States about 4,000 children are being born with this condition annually. One in about every 900 births is effected, making it the most common birth defect. There are three genetic variations that cause this disorder: trisomy 21, Mosaic Trisomy 21, or Translocation Trisomy 21. There…
