A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a defect in the septum (wall) between the two upper (atrial) chambers of the heart. Specifically, the defect is an incomplete closure of the atrial septum that results in the creation of a flap or a valve-like opening in the atrial septal wall (see illustration).
Down syndrome (DS), also called Trisomy 21, is a condition in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, both mentally and physically.
In other words Down syndrome is NOT associated to open foramen ovale.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Down Syndrome both have been associated with mutations in the JAK2 gene.
No. Down is caused by an extra chromosome while Marfan is due to a mutation in one or more genes.
Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is a disorder associated with an error in the number of chromosomes present. Other examples of disorders associated with an error in the number of chromosomes are Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome), Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome), Triple X syndrome, and Klinefelter Syndrome.
The answer is D. Jacobs Syndrome
Individuals with Down syndrome often have a larger gap between their toes, known as a "sandal gap." This physical characteristic is significant because it can help doctors diagnose Down syndrome at birth or during prenatal screenings. The presence of a sandal gap is one of the physical features commonly associated with Down syndrome.

Yes two non-Down syndrome parents can have a Down syndrome child. This is the most common situation, mainly because very few Down syndrome affected people are parents. Few Down Syndrome affected people become parents, partly because of reduced fertility associated with the syndrome, partly because of an increased risk of passing on the syndrome (very roughly from 1 in 800 to 1 in 3), and partly because of societal restrictions. ___________ Also, the parent(s) who has 1 down syndrome gene will be passed onto the child
Down syndrome, Down's syndrome, or trisomy 21 is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome. It is named after John Langdon Down, the British Doctor Who described the syndrome in 1866. The disorder was identified as a chromosome 21 trisomy by Jérôme Lejeune in 1959. The condition is characterized by a combination of major and minor differences in structure. Often Down syndrome is associated with some impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth as well as facial appearance. Down syndrome in a baby can be identified with amniocentesis during pregnancy or at birth.
Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. It is associated with physical features like slanted eyes, low muscle tone, and a flat facial profile. People with Down syndrome may also have intellectual disabilities and developmental delays.
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.
