Self care includes special ed classes and physical exercise]]> 2018-04-18 18:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253162426 Cause of the disorder 1465083 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253162569  The cause of this disease is nondisjunction. The chromosomes aren't properly separated meaning one extra 21 chromosome is added.

This is considered a mutation because is was a change in the number of chromosomes which means a change in the DNA.]]> 2018-04-18 18:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253162569 How is it inherited 1473879 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253164568 Down syndrome is not a sex linked trait because it occurs randomly during crossing over, when a chromosome 21 does not split, producing an extra chromosome for this child. Due to this, it is neither dominant or recessive, but instead a randomly selected trait. This disorder is linked to chromosome 21]]> 2018-04-18 18:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253164568 5157696477 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253164912 2018-04-18 18:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253164912 Effects of the disorder 5157696477 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253167385 Down syndrome has many effects. 

~Face deformation
~Short attention span
~Difficulty learning
~Stubby neck
~Expected to live to 60]]> 2018-04-18 18:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253167385 Diagnosed? 5157696477 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253570247 Down syndrome is diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy. The expecting mother does a blood test. If there are abnormal levels of PAPP-A and/or HCG there is a chance of down syndrome. During the ultrasound, if there is great amounts of fluids in the neck then the child will be born with down syndrome.]]> 2018-04-19 18:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253570247 Image: 5157696477 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253572070 2018-04-19 18:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253572070 Image: 5157696477 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253572233 2018-04-19 18:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253572233 Video: 1465083 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253598143 2018-04-19 19:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253598143 How many and what type of people are likely to have disorder? 1465083 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253598729 No, having down syndrome is a random chance and is not passed down or inherited. 

For the most part, it is very rare. At 25, there is a 1 in 1,200 chance of having a baby with down syndrome and this number narrows down to a 1 in 10 chance at the age of 49.]]> 2018-04-19 19:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253598729 Cites: 1465083 https://padlet.com/1465083/kbp9dnojh5nh/wish/253787083 Reardon, Marguerite. “‘I Didn't Know I Would Be Able to Love Her the Way I Do.’” CBS News, CBS Interactive, 20 Mar. 2015, www.cbsnews.com/news/down-syndrome-mothers-story/.
