To compare: The Down syndrome and cerebral palsy with regard to cause and effects on motor and cognitive abilities.
Concept introduction: Down’s syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by trisomy of chromosome 21. This results due to a random cell division error. This is known as nondisjunction. Chromosomal errors occur mostly during the formation of gametes; the majority comes from mother in the egg. Three types of chromosomal abnormalities lead to Down’s syndrome—the complete trisomy 21, mosaic trisomy 21, and translocation trisomy 21. A disorder that affect the muscle and coordination is called cerebral palsy. This is caused by brain damage, abnormal feta formation in the functional regions of brain, infection, or genetic mutations in the prenatal period.
