Down Syndrome
Down Syndrome is a disease that named after John Langdon Down. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by an error in cell division that results in the presence of an additional third chromosome 21 or "trisomy 21."
Some one who suffers from down syndrome is a person who is born with a wide flat face, sloping eyes and a mental ability that is below average.
There are no cure for down syndrome but we can control symptoms and manage any resulting medical conditions by regular checkups and screenings, medications, and surgery. Counseling can also give treatment for those who need help in coping with the emotional and practical aspects of Down syndrome.
