#Z VIBE DOWN SYNDROME FULL#

People with Down syndrome have either a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21, for a total of 47 chromosomes. Most cells of the human body contain 23 pairs of chromosomes-one set of chromosomes from each parent- for a total of 46 chromosomes. Common Nameĭown syndrome describes a set of cognitive and physical symptoms that result from an extra copy or part of a copy of chromosome 21.Ĭhromosomes carry the genes that tell the body to develop in certain ways and to perform certain functions. INCLUDE will investigate conditions that affect individuals with Down syndrome and the general population, such as Alzheimer’s disease/dementia, autism, cataracts, celiac disease, congenital heart disease, and diabetes. The project aims to understand critical health and quality-of-life needs for individuals with Down syndrome, with the aim of yielding scientific discoveries to improve the health, well-being, and neurodevelopment of individuals with Down syndrome, as well as their risk and resilience common diseases that they share with individuals who do not have Down syndrome. New NIH Initiative: NICHD is pleased to be part of INCLUDE ( INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndrom E), an NIH-wide initiative that launched in June 2018 in support of a Congressional directive in the fiscal year 2018 Omnibus Appropriations. Today, the Institute continues to lead research on the causes, progression, treatment, and management of Down syndrome, as well as on conditions and diseases that are associated with the syndrome. Understanding Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities is part of the reason the NICHD was established.

People with Down syndrome also have some distinct physical features, such as a flat-looking face, and they are at risk for a number of other health conditions. It is the most common chromosomal cause of mild to moderate intellectual disabilities.

Down syndrome is a set of cognitive and physical symptoms that result from having an extra chromosome 21 or an extra piece of that chromosome.
