Abstract

People with Down syndrome have a complication of an extra genetic chromosome, which determines the physiological characteristics of the baby during pregnancy, this develops within the mother and after her birth period. Normally we are all born with the number of 46 chromosomes, but babies with this syndrome are born with one copy of these chromosomes, which is called chromosome 21, or trisomy 21 as it is scientifically called. As time goes by, his body and his brain cause him physical and mental problems.
