ARTICLES RELATED TO Down syndrome - Overview | | | |  Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - OverviewThe incidence of Down syndrome is estimated at 1 per 800 births, making it the most common human aneuploidy. Maternal age influences the chance of conceiving a baby with the syndrome. At age 20 to 24, it is 1/1490, while at age 40 it is 1/106, and at age 49 is 1/11. (Hook EB., 1981). Although the chance increases with maternal age, most children with Down's syndrome (80%) are born to women under the age of 35. This reflects the overall fecundity of that age group. Many standard screens of pregnancies indicate Down syndrome, although they are ...

| | | | Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - Overview Down Syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by the presence of an extra copy of genetic material on the 21st chromosome, either in whole (trisomy 21) or part (such as due to translocations). The effects of the extra copy varies greatly from individual to individual, depending on the extent of the extra copy, genetic background, environmental factors, and random chance. Down syndrome can occur in all human populations, and analogous effects have been found in ot ...

| | | | Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - Overview Down syndrome is a syndrome that causes slowed growth, abnormal facial features, and mental retardation. It is caused by an extra chromosome 21. Incidence of Down syndrome is estimated at 1 per 800 births, making it the most common chromosomal abnormality. The maternal age effect influences the risk of conceiving a baby with the syndrome. At age 20 to 24, it is 1/1490, while at age 40 it is 1/106, and at age 49 is 1/11. (Hook EB., 1981). Genetic counseling and genetic testing such as amniocentesis are usually offered to families who may be a ...

| | | | Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - Down syndrome's sociology Advocates for people with Down syndrome stress that affected individuals have the same human rights and emotions as any other human beings. Down syndrome is considered grounds for abortion in an increasing number of countries. The number of children born with Down syndrome is decreasing due to the large number of abortions following an early diagnosis of Down syndrome during pregnancy. In a hearing before the German Parliament, doctors stated that 90% of all fetuses prenatally diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted. This number is consiste ...

The abuse and forcible institutionalization of people with Down syndrome was closely linked to early twentieth-century racial and eugenic theory, culminating in the killing of many people with Down syndrome and other disabilities by the Nazi government in Germany in the 1930s-1945, and the creation of compulsory sterilization prog ...

| | | | Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - History John Langdon Down first characterized Down syndrome in 1862. Because of his perception that Down syndrome children share physical similarities with Mongolians, he used the terms mongolism or mongolian idiocy.
In 1959, Professor Jérome Lejeune discovered that Down syndrome is a chromosomal irregularity [1]. The chromosomal irregularity was identified as trisomy 21. The human karyotype is numbered from largest to smallest (excluding the X and Y). Lejeune ascribed the trisomy to chromosome 21, the second smallest. H ...

| | | | Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - Medical research Of the inborn differences that affect intellectual capacity, Down Syndrome is the most prevalent and best studied. Down Syndrome is a term used to encompass a number of genetic disorders of which trisomy 21 is the most frequent (95% of cases). Discovered by the Parisian physician Jerome Lejeune in 1959, Trisomy 21 is the existence of the third copy of the chromosome 21 in cells throughout the body of the affected person. Other Down Syndrome disorders are based on the duplication of the same subset of genes (e.g., various translocations of ch ...

| | | | Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - Education Cognitive development in children with Down syndrome is quite variable. Many can be successful in school, while others struggle. Because of this variability in expression of Down syndrome, it is important to evaluate children individually. The cognitive problems that are found among children with Down syndrome are also found among children without Down syndrome. This means that parents can take advantage of general programs that are offered through the schools or other means. Children with Down syndrome have a wide range of abilities. It is ...

| | | | Down syndrome - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Down syndrome - Prenatal Screening Pregnant women can be screened for various complications in their pregnancy. Some screens are designed to indicate neural tube defects (such as spina bifida), Trisomy 18, or Down syndrome, and other possible problems. There are two common non-invasive screens that can indicate an increased chance for a Down syndrome fetus.
Triple Screen. This test measures the maternal serum alpha feto protein (a fetal liver protein), estriol (a pregnancy hormone), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, a pregnancy hormone). This screen is done ...
