Causes of Down Syndrome

This page on the eMedTV website explores the causes of Down syndrome. Most cases are caused by trisomy 21, which means that each cell in the body has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two copies.

Children with Down syndrome may face medical issues or issues regarding developmental ability and school. This eMedTV article describes these issues in detail and explores the value of early intervention for children with Down syndrome.

Cures for Down Syndrome

There are no cures for Down syndrome because the condition begins in the chromosomes. The information in this eMedTV page outlines current research investigating cures for Down syndrome, as well as more effective interventions and treatment options.
