Most cases of down syndrome are not inherited. Translocation Down syndrome can be inherited.
What countries have the most Down syndrome cases?
United states
Do all cases of down syndrome have a complete extra chromosome?
No, not all cases of Down syndrome involve a complete extra chromosome. The most common form, known as trisomy 21, consists of an entire extra chromosome 21, resulting in three copies instead of the usual two. However, some cases are due to a Robertsonian translocation, where a part of chromosome 21 is attached to another chromosome, or mosaic Down syndrome, where some cells have the extra chromosome while others do not.
When do most cases of neuroleptic malignant syndrome develop?
Most cases of neuroleptic malignant syndrome develop between four to 14 days of the initiation of a new drug or an increase in dose.
What human disease is caused by non-disjunction?
Down's syndrome is the most common.
What common condition is caused by the presence of three copies of chromosome 21?
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.
Would a male with Down syndrome and a male without Down syndrome have a child with Down syndrome?
== == * I did some research and learned that men with Down syndrome are usually sterile. Most women can get pregnant and have children. Since there is a high risk of Down syndrome in the baby (35%-50%), many times the pregnancy would end in a miscarriage. But many Down syndrome people have had children. * Technically yes, but it's unlikely. Fertility is greatly reduced in both males and females with Down syndrome, although there have been a few cases of males fathering children and females bearing them. * Actually, there has only been 1 case of a male fathering a child. A women with Down syndrome can have children, but there is a 50% chance that the baby will be born with Down syndrome.
Why isn't down syndrome hereditary?
Down syndrome is primarily caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, a condition known as trisomy 21. This typically occurs due to a random error during cell division in the formation of eggs or sperm, rather than being inherited from a parent. While there are rare hereditary forms of Down syndrome, most cases arise sporadically and are not passed down genetically. Therefore, Down syndrome is not considered hereditary in the conventional sense.

Will a female with Tourette Syndrome pass it down to her children in every case or is there a possibility that she won't?
There is about a 50/50 chance that a child will be born with Tourette Syndrome unless if the mother and the father have it there is a greater risk but not 100 percent in most cases
What age group is most affected by Down syndrome?
No age group is affected; Down syndrome is a chromosome condition that is with you at birth.
What is the most common cause for down syndrome?
Down's syndrome is a disorder caused by defective genes. It is most commonly caused by parents who are elderly at the time of birth.
