Down Syndrome: The Disorder and the Role of the CSD Professional Anthony J. Genovesi Miami University Down Syndrome The Disorder and the Role of the CSD Professional Down syndrome is a genetic defect attributed to an abnormality of the human chromosome 21. The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS), a national advocate organization for the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome, notes that modern research has successfully identified three types of Down syndrome

Down-Syndrome Do you ever see other people and wonder why they act and look so differently? Their is a genetic disorder by the name of Down-Syndrome. Down-Syndrome is a condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes while others have 46. People with this disorder may have the facial features of flat face, small nose, upward slant eyes, enlarged tongue and may appear shorter than others. Down-Syndrome has nothing to do with race, nationality, religion or anything the father or mother did during pregnacy

Down Syndrome: An Informative Essay      Down Syndrome is the name for babies born with a disorder related to their chromosomes. It is caused when meiosis occurs and an error occurs in the cells development. The reason for this defect is often because the parent is over 40 or for some other reason their meiosis is not "Up to par."      The actual defect is an extra chromosome is developed during cell development. The abnormal development results in 47 chromosomes rather than the usual

1. Down Syndrome Austin Bryan Medical Genetics Professor Ostrowski, Professor McNally Down Syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality that results in an easily recognizable phenotype. This abnormality occurs in about 1 in every 800 to 1000 male and female births. The common features are low ears, epicanthal folds, enlarged tongues, and microcephaly. Down Syndrome children are affected by mental retardation and retarded physical skills. People with this abnormality used to be considered hopeless. However

Lauren Potter: Down Syndrome Lauren Potter was diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth. It is a disease that she is proud to have. Lauren Potter said, “It is important to me that people with intellectual disabilities are represented and treated fairly and are given the same opportunities as every other American” (“Lauren Potter, Actress”). She fights for people like her who have been bullied. Down syndrome is a disability where a person has more than two of the chromosome 21 (Routh 6). There are

the mother. Babies born with Down’s Syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21 which changes the way the brain and body develop. It is not certain how Down’s Syndrome happens. It could occur during fertilization or in a rare situation can be passed down from parent to child. Down’s syndrome during pregnancy can be determined through a series of noninvasive tests which are done without using tools that break the skin or enter the body. These tests are usually done by ultrasound, which uses sound

What is her age-adjusted risk for Down Syndrome? Per ACOG Practice Bulletin #88, (2007) her risk for Down Syndrome is 1:267, whereas her risk for any chromosomal abnormality at this age is 1:148. This also translates as the risk of not having a baby affected by Down Syndrome is 266:267 and not having any chromosomal abnormality as 147:148. How does this compare to the risk of diagnostic testing? At 11 weeks, her risks of pregnancy loss from invasive testing are greater than those of finding the anomaly

Watership Down Literary Analysis Good leaders ensure the world continues to advance. In contrast, bad leaders allow cruelty to spread and are often over controlling, taking away the freedom of their people. Richard Adams’s Watership Down is a story about rabbits trying to establish a warren, a society. Hazel, the main character of the book, has been informed that his warren is in danger. He leads a group of rabbits to try and start a new warren in a better environment, away from peril. While trying

Down syndrome is where every cell in the body has a nucleus, genetic material is then stored in genes. Some of those genes carry codes that are responsible for the inherited traits that are grouped up along rod-like structures that are called chromosomes. Down syndrome is the part that occurs when one individual has a partial or full copy of chromosome 21. The nucleus of each cells contain 23 different pairs of chromosomes, half of those which are inherited from each of the parent. Some common traits

1886, John Langdon Down was the first to publish an accurate description of Down syndrome, so he was then deemed the “father” of this disorder. However, there were earlier drawings and descriptions of Down syndrome that began the awareness of the disorder. Down syndrome has become the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition. Children who have Down syndrome can have moderate to severe delays in communication development. Because of the delayed development that comes with Down syndrome, the affected
