Medical Conditions - Down Syndrome

Down syndrome is a genetic condition in which a baby is born with an extra chromosome. Usually, a child is born with 46 chromosomes, but in cases like down syndrome, the child inherits an extra copy of these chromosomes (chromosome 21). Therefore, it is medically termed trisomy 21. As a result, the child's appearance includes a short neck, small ears, a flat face, and short height.
