Question 4

do you think an adult could have mosaic down syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Accounts for 1% DS: Mosaicism is encountered in ds patients & I have followed one in the past. By definition, some tissues are composed of cells with normal information & other tissues have the abnormal, but the mix could vary greatly in the percentage of either. Functional outcome  depends on that blend & whether the abnormally derived tissues compose critical structures like brain, blood, reproductive organs, etc.

Question 5

what are the symptoms and treatments of down syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Long story!: The problem is duplication of genetic material (chromosome 21) in every cell of the body.  There are facial features, heart problems, reduced muscle tone, and spinal, gi, ent, thyroid and blood-related issues as well.  The biggest issue is mental deficiency.   Ongoing surveillance and intervention by your pediatrician are important.  So is developmental and school-based help.

Accepted Answer

Difficult issue: Prior to the availability of chromosome(chm) and chm banding studies, these kids were usually classified by physical features.Errors happened occasionally.Many features are quite consistent among DS kids, yet they are also found occasionally in normal kids &amp; some DS kids have few if any typical features.Separating the regular DS from a mosaic  is impossible without testing.
