Down syndrome Is In Your Brain.
it turns into you.
No. Down syndrome doesn't limit itself to any one single body part.
No, down syndrome is caused by a genetic defect where there is an extra chromosome in most,if not all, of the cells of a body. it is not caused by a drug.
down syndrome
Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder that occurs as a result of an extra copy, or part thereof, of chromosome 21. The body systems that Down Syndrome affects may include the heart and lungs. Down Syndrome also affects physical development and intellectual disability.

Disorders, such as Down's Syndrome, are caused by nondisjunction.
Down syndrome is generally the preferred spelling, although Down's syndrome is sometimes used in American sources.
Most cases of down syndrome are not inherited. Translocation Down syndrome can be inherited.
Down syndrome IS the diagnosis.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder it is located in the DNA. People with down syndrome contain an extra chromosome. Because every cell in your body has the same DNA and only the gene expression changes, the result is the gene for down syndrome is in every cell in the body. To go into more detail sperm and egg contain half the genetic material required to make a baby (haploid cells) when combined make a diploid cell, in a person with down syndrome the fathers sperm will contain an extra chromosome. The cells replicate and divide (through mitosis) and you end up with 4 cells, then again and again until you have billions of cells. It is the replication that causes the gene for down syndrome to end up in every cell.
Most cases of Down syndrome result from trisomy 21, which means each cell in the body has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two copies. The extra genetic material disrupts the normal course of development, causing the characteristic features of Down syndrome.Hope this helps.
