Down Syndrome

Down Syndrome, primarily caused by abnormalities in chromosome 21 such as trisomy 21, mosaicism, and translocation, leads to a spectrum of physical and cognitive symptoms. While there is currently no cure, management includes regular checkups, potential surgery, and therapy to enhance quality of life. Maternal age plays a critical role in testing and conception options, including artificial insemination. Families can navigate these challenges to ensure a fulfilling life for their loved ones. Awareness and understanding are key to supporting individuals with Down Syndrome.
