What is Down syndrome?

According to the CDC, Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a person has an additional chromosome known as chromosome 21. Chromosomes contain genes that determine the development and functioning of the body.

Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes, but those with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, also known as trisomy 21. This extra chromosome alters the body and brain's development, leading to physical and intellectual challenges.

While individuals with Down syndrome may share similar characteristics, each person has unique abilities. People with Down syndrome generally have a lower IQ and may have delayed speech development compared to their peers.
