Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, affects individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. It occurs due to an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to developmental delays and physical characteristics. While the condition is present at birth, the severity of its effects can vary widely among those affected. Early intervention and support can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome.

If two people with Down syndrome had a baby would it have Down syndrome too?

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
