How Down Sick People Prosper in Life Roger is a handsome blonde blue eyed boy, but he can say that he is different from most other children. His physique is a bit strange. Roger's face is wider and his nose is more flat than usual. And his eyes seem to be breaking upside down into their corners. His mouth is small, his mouth is narrow. Needless to say, his small ears were folded up slightly. His hands are small, his fingers are short, and the fifth finger seems to bend slightly inward. These are the physical symptoms of children with Down's syndrome (chromosomal abnormalities). Where I am

Down syndrome (Down syndrome) is a hereditary disorder that can cause some degree of learning disability and unique physical characteristics. There are three types of Down Syndrome, and I will tell them separately as trisomy 21, translocation and mosaic. These are chromosomal variations that cause Down's syndrome. Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality caused by cell division abnormality. This is a person who has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two normal copies. This disease causes disorders of mental and physical development, ranging from mild to moderate developmental disorders.

Humans have 46 chromosomes at reproductive stage. People with Down's syndrome have a complete or partial copy of the chromosome 21. Due to this extra chromosome, people with Down's syndrome are usually small and have a unique eye shape. Some mental retardation, and other problems in the mild to severe range. One in 700 newborns is born with this disease, and approximately 5,300 babies are born each year. Older mothers over 35 years of age are usually at high risk of giving birth to Down syndrome children and are more likely to be tested during pregnancy. Young mothers are unlikely to be tested for prenatal Down's syndrome, but because the birth rate is high, there is a high possibility that there is a baby with Down's syndrome

As Down's syndrome patients live longer they are becoming more aware of Down's syndrome. People with Down Syndrome are integrated into school and working team. Advances in technology also extended the average life expectancy. In 1910, children with Down Syndrome only lived until 9 years old (National Down Syndrome Association). After discovering antibiotics, life expectancy increased to 19 or 20 (National Down Syndrome Association). Today, 80% of people are 55 years old, many people live long (National Down Syndrome Association). Every year, 5000 infants with Down's syndrome are born, and more than 350,000 families in the United States have Down syndrome (National Down Syndrome Association). As the number of people with Down's syndrome continues to increase, there is a growing need for public awareness of this genetic disease to promote the acceptance of affected people.
