 Down syndrome Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an
extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body.
They determine how a baby’s body forms and functions as it grows during
pregnancy and after birth. Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes.
Babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these
chromosomes, chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a
chromosome is ‘trisomy.’ Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21.
This extra copy changes how the baby’s body and brain develop, which can
cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby.

 A flattened face, especially the bridge of the nose

 Almond-shaped eyes that slant up
 A short neck
 Small ears
 A tongue that tends to stick out of the mouth
