To determine which regions of chromosome 21 are involved in the pathogenesis of specific features of Down syndrome, we analysed, phenotypically and molecularly, 10 patients with partial trisomy 21.

Trisomy is a genetic condition characterized by the presence of an extra chromosome. This means that the affected person has ...

Scientists map second human chromosome. By Ann Schrader Denver Post Science Writer. May 9 - Scientists in Denver, Japan and Germany have mapped chromosome 21, a feat that could one day lead to ...

Using genetic mapping, the researchers identified a gene on human chromosome 21 called Dyrk1a, which causes heart defects when present in three copies in the mouse model of Down syndrome.

The researchers sifted through published datasets of proteins and RNA of individuals with Down syndrome and compared these to laboratory made cells with trisomies of chromosomes 3, 5, 12, and 21.

Of the 258 participants, 195 were cognitively asymptomatic, 34 had mild cognitive impairment, 23 had dementia, and six had an ...

The guest is Julie Torzewski, executive director of Down Syndrome of Louisville. An expecting mother is told that her baby has trisomy 21 but doesn't understand exactly what that means. Dr ...

To mark World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, Fox News contributor Tom Shillue headed to Times Square to speak with a father of a girl with Down syndrome about common misperceptions.

Down syndrome is caused by the presence of a third copy of the 21st chromosome. The condition occurs in approximately 1 in 700 live births and is relatively easy to diagnose at early stages of ...
