Down syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects 1in every 700 kids. Down syndrome is when a child has and extra copy of chromosome 21. Down syndrome has many ways of telling if the child has down syndrome, like physical features. You can also tell if a child has down syndrome based on how they act. There are different ways of obtaining down syndrome. Kids with down syndrome are no different than kids that were born with the normal set of chromosomes, they just act a little different and need
1. Down Syndrome Austin Bryan Medical Genetics Professor Ostrowski, Professor McNally Down Syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality that results in an easily recognizable phenotype. This abnormality occurs in about 1 in every 800 to 1000 male and female births. The common features are low ears, epicanthal folds, enlarged tongues, and microcephaly. Down Syndrome children are affected by mental retardation and retarded physical skills. People with this abnormality used to be considered hopeless. However
to do Down Syndrome as my disease, because I have always been interested in this disease, and how kids end up with it on birth. Also people with down syndrome don’t take their life for granted, and they can be so happy sometimes. Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a person gets an extra 21 chromosome instead of just one. Down syndrome has a very extinct feature on a person, the face is slanted a little bit and they have low muscle tone.(https://www.ndss.org/about-down-syndrome/down-syndrome/)
Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder where an abnormality in cell division results in a copy of chromosome 21. This is also known as trisomy 21. Although the cause of the extra chromosome is still unknown, maternal age is the only possible thing to have been linked to having a child with Down Syndrome. Physical abnormalities of Down Syndrome may include, decreased muscle tone, flattened facial profile, upward slanting eyes, and a short neck. Often, children with Down Syndrome develop slower than the
Down-Syndrome Do you ever see other people and wonder why they act and look so differently? Their is a genetic disorder by the name of Down-Syndrome. Down-Syndrome is a condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes while others have 46. People with this disorder may have the facial features of flat face, small nose, upward slant eyes, enlarged tongue and may appear shorter than others. Down-Syndrome has nothing to do with race, nationality, religion or anything the father or mother did during pregnacy
Down Syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders. It is one of the most leading causes of intellectual disability, causing also others health problems in a child affected by the disoter. It is important to understand that Down Syndrome, in some cases is deliberate by a third copy of trisomy 21. Some time when there is an increment of the protein expression of genes on chromosome 21 it cause a deformation on the patient with Down Syndrome. The gene trisomy is associated with the maternal
I already knew that XX meant the gender was a girl, it's just that I heard of XX male syndrome, so I thought that was the disorder. By the way, thanks a lot. Find out what syndrome the possessor of this genotype has, and write about the disease. Also find out anything you can about chromosome 21 and what it effects. This paper should be about 750 words and use at least three separate sources. Cite your sources, and be certain to put the information in your own words. Use paragraphs with complete
People all over the world are diagnosed with a terrible disease called Down Syndrome. It was discovered by a british physician who was known as Dr. Langdon Down back in 1866 in Britain. This disease causes children to be born with physical and mental abnormalities. With so many children having this disease parents wonder what they have done to cause this curse, but it isn’t their fault. It is simply a random error in cell division which causes an extra copy of chromosome 21. It is mostly inherited
There are over 400,000 individuals with Downs Syndrome: reminder that Down Syndrome is also called Trisomy 21, which is an extra x chromosome on the 22nd chromosome. Given the amount of individuals with Downs Syndrome, it is key that we acknowledge that statistic and foster ways in which we make these individuals lives, and overall quality of life better. Often times individuals with Down Syndrome experience oral facial issues that include upper and lower lip placement, tongue placement, drooling
1. Name of the disorder – Down Syndrome Down syndrome, or also known as trisomy 21, describes a set of cognitive and physical symptoms that result from an extra copy or part of a copy of chromosome (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2012). Chromosomes carry the genes that tell the body to develop in certain ways and to perform certain functions. Most cells of the human body contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes (National Institute of Child Health
