It depends on what you mean by getting worse. It can come with physical delays and intellectual disability. The average IQ of a young adult with Down syndrome is 50, about the same mental age of an 8- or 9-year-old child, but this varies.
It may take children with Down syndrome longer than other children to reach milestones, but they will eventually meet many of these. Children with Down syndrome are at an increased risk for certain health problems. However, each individual with Down syndrome is different, and not every person will have serious health problems. Many of these can be treated.
They do have a shorter life span than other people. In 1910, a baby born with Down syndrome often didn't live to age 10. Today, someone with Down syndrome can expect to live to age 60+, depending on the how severe the health problems are.

How long does stickler syndrome last?

Treatment is focused on managing symptoms and complications associated with the syndrome.
What occurs when inflamed and swollen tendons are caught in a narrow space between the bone within the shoulder joint?
When inflamed and swollen tendons are caught in a narrow space between the bone within the shoulder joint, it can lead to a condition called impingement syndrome.

It's important to address the inflammation and correct any contributing factors to alleviate symptoms and prevent further issues.

Yes, a woman can experience HELP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelet count) more than once in different pregnancies. However, it is rare for it to occur in multiple pregnancies. Each pregnancy is unique, and the risk factors for HELP syndrome can vary. It is important for women with a history of HELP syndrome to be closely monitored during subsequent pregnancies.

Does genetic engineering benefit Down syndrome?
No. Gene therapy alters a person's genetic code, generally by inserting a genetic sequence. Trisomy 21 (downs syndrome) is caused by the presence of a copy (or part of a copy) of the 21st chromosome. Genetic therapy would not be able to remove this extra chromosome. It might be possible (in the future) to "turn off" the extra chromosome, and stop trisomy-21 at the embryo stage. However, by the time a person is born, the physical damage from downs syndrome has been done. After a few months to a year or so, the mental damage from downs syndrome will also be done. So no "treatment" for downs syndrome will be possible using genetic modification such as gene therapy.
