Diseases: Post 15-Down Syndrome

Hello Everyone! Today I'm going to talk about Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome is where you are born with a third Chromosome 21. If your child is born with Down Syndrome then your children may have physical growth delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and characteristic facial features. People with Down Syndrome may act younger than what they are. They may also have a desire or obsession with something that most people don't. If Down Syndrome patients make it past five years of age they have an 80% chance of reaching their third decade (36 years) and a 60% chance of living past 50. If you don't know much about Down Syndrome, I HIGHLY suggest that you read a book about the disease or read the book: "The Man Who Loved Clowns." Stay healthy and stay in "The Doctor's Office."
