Down Syndrome in children as well as its causes and symptoms.

In today's blog we will discuss about Down Syndrome in children as well as its causes and symptoms.

what is Down Syndrome?

Down syndrome is a congenital condition in children.  Down syndrome develops in the womb.  The number of chromosomes creates a state of intellectual and physical disability and this causes differences in the physical and intellectual condition of children.

In a normal body, there are 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs in a cell.  But in Down syndrome, there are 47 chromosomes.  It is also called trisomy 21 because it appears as one more pair of chromosomes.  This condition is likely to be equal in both son and daughter.

People with this syndrome have more complex health problems than others.  But no parent is to blame for the birth of a child with Down syndrome.

The main cause of this condition is heredity and this syndrome can be seen during pregnancy after 35 years.
