DS or DNS is the abbreviation of down syndrome. This is a genetic disorder. Our human body is made of millions of cells. Cells contain a nucleus. It is the control center of the cell. Chromosomes are present inside the nucleus. Chromosomes play a vital role in cell division and genes transfers. Our inherited characteristics are transferred to us through these chromosomes. So a normal person has 46\u00a0 chromosomes in each cell. On the other hand, sometimes a person has an extra chromosome. That extra one causes down syndrome. It was first discovered in the late nineties.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This extra chromosome makes the development process slow. Down syndrome is visible since birth. The babies with this disease usually have flat features with small eyes and weak muscles. Babies with down syndrome are born like a normal child with normal weight. However, their development is<\/span> slower, as compared to a normal child.<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, they have digestive issues. Although down syndrome is not <\/span>completely recoverable, but situations can improve. These babies can become an active participant in society with a strong will and hard work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This syndrome is common\u00a0<\/span>in America. About one in every 700 children has this syndrome \u2014 moreover, 6000 babies are born with down syndrome in America every year.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are three types of Down Syndrome.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This Down syndrome can affect the patient mentally or physically.

Usually, it occurs when there is a history of DS in the family, especially at the male side. Moreover, blood tests is the option to check the probability of down syndrome. In the case of some <\/span>positive results, more tests are done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n CVS is the other way to diagnose. In CVS, cells are taken from the placenta to check the extra copy of fetal chromosomes. DS tests can be done after birth.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes babies are born with DS physical features, but in reality, they don`t have down syndrome. So chromosomal karyotype is an option to make sure about DS. Fish is another type of test which diagnoses DNS after birth.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Treatment of DNS is different for everyone.
