Down Syndrome: Explained in a Minute | Child with Down Syndrome

What is Down syndrome? Why does it occur? How does Down's syndrome manifest itself?
There are several more questions that occur to us with respect to the condition.

We often are unaware of the intricacies of the condition due to the stigma associated with it. This is despite the fact that an average of 23,000-29,000 children are born with the condition in India each year.

When a person has Down syndrome or Trisomy 21, it is simply a genetic disorder. It indicates the presence of an extra chromosome copy in his/her cells. They are born different but it does not translate to a low quality of life. People with the condition can have long fruitful lives despite the challenges faced in development. They can live with respect and dignity provided they are given the opportunity.
