About Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. The most common form of Down syndrome is Trisomy 21, in which a person has an extra copy of chromosome 21. This extra chromosome results in problems with how the brain and body develop. Down syndrome is estimated at about 1 in 733 births.
