No, that is false. Down Syndrome is also known as Trisomy-21. Monosomy is a condition where one chromosome is missing from what should be a pair in every cell throughout the body. Trisomy indicates a chromosome has three copies instead of a pair.

Monosomy occurs when one chromosome is absent from the normal diploid number. This is referred to as aneuploidy which is the loss or gain of a chromosome during meiosis.An example of monosomy is Turner Syndrome. One of the sex chromosomes is missing. In an unaffected female there are 2 'X' chromosomes. But in Turner Syndrome there is one sex chromosome missing.Trisomy occurs when there is three copies of a chromosome instead of the normal diploid number. This is also referred to as aneuploidy because there was an extra chromosome added hence, an abnormal amount of chromosomes.An example of trisomy is in Trisomy 21(Downs Syndrome) in which chromosome 21 has an extra chromosome.
