Diagnosis of Down syndrome
Your genes hold the keys to how your body looks and functions. They are behind everything from the color of your hair to the way you digest food.
People with Down syndrome are born with an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are bundles of genes, and your body makes sure it has the right number. With Down syndrome, this extra chromosome leads to a whole range of issues that affect you both mentally and physically.
Detection Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a lifelong disease. Although the disease cannot be cured, doctors know more about it now than ever before. If your child has this condition, getting the right care early on can make a big difference in helping them lead a full and meaningful life.
Effects of Down syndrome
Down syndrome can have many effects, and it is very different for each person. Some live almost entirely on their own, while others need more help to care for themselves.
People with Down syndrome usually have certain physical characteristics. For example, most of them have flat noses and small ears.
Their mental abilities will vary, but most have mild to moderate problems with thinking, reasoning, and understanding. They learn new skills throughout their lives, but it may take longer to achieve important goals such as walking, talking, and developing social skills.
Many people with Down syndrome have no health problems, but others. Common conditions include heart problems and hearing and vision problems.
Causes of Down syndrome problem
Normally, each cell in your body has 23 pairs of chromosomes. One chromosome in each pair is provided by the mother. The other comes from your father.
But in the case of Down syndrome, something goes wrong and you get an extra copy of chromosome 21. This means that instead of two, you have three copies that lead to the signs and symptoms of Down syndrome. Doctors are not sure why this happens. There is nothing to do with the environment or what the parents did or did not do.
While doctors don't know what causes it, they do know that women 35 and older have a higher chance of having a baby with Down syndrome. If you have already had a child with Down syndrome, you will have the possibility of having another child with this problem.

This problem is not a disability, but Down syndrome can be passed from parent to child. Sometimes, parents have what experts call "transmitted genes." This means that some of their genes are not in their normal place, perhaps on a different chromosome than where they are normally found.
The parents do not have Down syndrome because they have the right gene, but their child may have what is called "displacement Down syndrome".
Diagnosis of Down syndrome with ultrasound
Chromosome abnormalities can be easily detected in prenatal ultrasounds. One of the things that is diagnosed in the first trimester ultrasound (NT ultrasound) is the problem of Down syndrome.This ultrasound can be done from week 10 to 13 weeks and 6 days.
