Mental retardation is a side effect of Down Syndrome. Down syndrome or trisomy 21 (or Down's Syndrome in British English) is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra Twenty-first chromosome. Children with Down syndrome tend to share certain physical features such as a flat facial profile, an upward slant to the eyes, small ears, a single crease across the center of the palms, and an enlarged tongue. A doctor can usually tell if a newborn has the condition through a physical exam. Down Syndrome also causes mild to moderate mental retardation.
There are no mental or behavioral abnormalities, but people who have Down's Syndrome have rounded shoulders, a thicker skull, and a spongy tongue which causes speech impediment.

Down's Syndrome is the unfortunate effect of an error that takes place during cell division at fertilisation. The error leads the child to have an extra 21st chromosone which causes cognitive and physical impairments.

Children with Down syndrome can learn to participate in physical exercise activities like other children. It may take children with Down syndrome longer than other children to reach developmental milestones, but they will eventually meet many of these milestones.
