What is Down Syndrome?
Down Syndrome, often called Down's syndrome, is a condition where a child is born with an extra copy of their 21st chromosome. Those born with Down Syndrome may experience mild to moderate mental and physical development delays.
However, through enough support and opportunities, many children with Down Syndrome can also grow up to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
Some parents have a greater chance of giving birth to a baby with Down Syndrome.
