Neuropathology of Down's Syndrome Down's syndrome is the most common cause of mental retardation in the birth of one out of 700 people. In addition to psychiatric disorders, the disease is characterized by internal folds of the eyes, flat facial features, abnormal palm folds, short stature, mouth opening, tongue protrusion, and bad posture. In addition, it was observed that 40% of the risk of developing leukemia was 22 to 50 times greater than congenital heart disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease found in patients with Down's syndrome. The illness was named after the 1906 neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer's disease. Patients with Down's syndrome experience neuropathology like Alzheimer's disease in their 40s. Initially, Alzheimer's disease affects certain parts of the brain, such as memory and language. But after a while, the disease progresses and causes problems in every aspect of our lives. Alzheimer's disease has two forms, familial and sporadic. Familial Alzheimer's disease is a heritable rare illness. Alzheimer's disease has three main types of lesions. This is subsequently caused by mutations in several genes, such as APP, which will result in overproduction of amyloid beta protein. The most common form of Alzheimer's disease is a sporadic form that causes 90% of cases of Alzheimer's disease
Many people with Down's syndrome develop Alzheimer's disease. The symptoms and signs of Alzheimer's disease often appear 10 to 20 years earlier than people with Down's syndrome. Genes contained in extra chromosomes that cause Down's syndrome markedly increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. These risk factors are also associated with vascular dementia, which is a type of dementia caused by damaged blood vessels in the brain. Cooperating with your medical team to plan to manage these factors will help protect your heart - and may also help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia Hmm
Down syndrome is a common chromosomal abnormality in human mental retardation. It is caused by trisomy in chromosome 21. Down syndrome was named after John Laugdon down in 1866. There are three different types of chromosomal aberrations: free trisomy 21, translocation Down syndrome and mosaic down syndrome. Over 90% of time during meiosis, failure to separate non-segregated and chromosome pairs is the main cause of Down's syndrome. Down syndrome was named in 1866 by John Ragdon Down. The first person who reported the relationship between neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease in Down's syndrome and clinical dementia of adults was Jarvis and confirmed that in 1948 the disease was due to trisomy of the chromosome. 21 years have appeared by Jerome Lejeune in 1959. The symptoms associated with Down's syndrome are decreased muscle tension, congenital heart disease, small skull, inclined eyes, growth retardation.
