How do down syndrome & mongloid differ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Old world term: Before the chromosome defect was found in '60's, the the facial structure of Down syndrome kids/adults, reminded folks of the features of mongolian race. Original scientific publications used that terminology. It was well into the '70's before the descriptions began to change ; the public began to use the term Down syndrome exclusively.
