Do you think an adult could have mosaic down syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
