Down Syndrome by Manuel Garcia Pinales https://padlet.com/s80341/bowd9znj23ks This is a genetic based condition. en-us 2019-03-15 14:58:28 UTC 2019-05-15 20:00:31 UTC hello@padlet.com Description. s80341 https://padlet.com/s80341/bowd9znj23ks/wish/341794074 Down syndrome is a chromosomal condition that is associated with intellectual disability, a characteristic facial appearance, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. All affected individuals experience cognitive delays, but the intellectual disability is usually mild to moderate.

People with Down syndrome may have a variety of birth defects. About half of all affected children are born with a heart defect. Digestive abnormalities, such as a blockage of the intestine, are less common.

About 5,300 babies with Down syndrome are born in the United States each year, and approximately 200,000 people in this country have the condition. Although women of any age can have a child with Down syndrome, the chance of having a child with this condition increases as a woman gets older.

The parent carries a rearrangement of genetic material between chromosome 21 and another chromosome. This rearrangement is called a balanced translocation. No genetic material is gained or lost in a balanced translocation, so these chromosomal changes usually do not cause any health problems. However, as this translocation is passed to the next generation, it can become unbalanced. People who inherit an unbalanced translocation involving chromosome 21may have extra genetic material from chromosome 21, which causes Down syndrome.
