Down Syndrome

People that are diagnosed with Down Syndrome are born with it. As babies, these people have an extra chromosome or an extra package of genes in the body. These chromosomes determine the way the baby’s body forms while the mother is pregnant. It also determines the functioning of the baby’s body as it grows in the womb and after birth.

Normal babies are born with 46 chromosomes while babies with down syndrome are born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. The extra chromosome makes changes in the development of the baby’s brain and body, causing physical and mental challenges for the baby.
