What are the symptoms and treatments of down syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
