Down syndrome


Many people suffer from Down syndrome, as it is considered a center of concern for parents and pregnant women, and Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder, so that the human body carries 46 chromosomes, half presented by the father and the other half by the mother, and in the case of Down syndrome there is a complete copy and mother. As for a part of chromosome 21, which in turn affects the genetic material, in this article we will learn about Down syndrome more broadly: 

  •  What is Down syndrom:  
  • A person has 46 chromosomes in his body, where these chromosomes are responsible for our appearance and shape, so that our bodies consist of 23 pairs of chromosomes, but in Down syndrome the problem is in chromosome 21, meaning that the two pairs of chromosomes are not two chromosomes, but they are three chromosomes, and therefore 47 chromosomes In the body of a person with Down syndrome, this results in several mental and physical symptoms.
  • Types of Down syndrome:
  • There are several types of Down syndrome:
  • Tri-chromosome 21.
  • Mosaicism.
  • Chromosomal translocation.  
  • Causes of Down syndrome:
  • As a result of the research obtained in the causes of Down's problem and the cause of triple chromosome 21 is the age of the pregnant mother, after reaching 35 years of age, the possibility of a mother carrying a fetus with Down syndrome increases due to the progression of the eggs that coincide with the advancement of the mother in age and thus defects in the divisions occur. This does not mean The father has no role in the development of the fetus with Down syndrome, because imbalances in the division of the sperm can occur.
  • In the event that one of the parents suffers from Down syndrome, the same condition can be transmitted to his youngster. 
  • An imbalance of the divisions.
  • So far, scientists have not discovered any environmental cause, or even geographical area, related to Down syndrome.
  • Down symptoms:
  • People with Down syndrome have the same features, tight eyes, short hands, large foreheads, small ears, large tongue, small fingers and their very gentle shapes.
  • Short neck.
  • Low level of natural intelligence.
  • Mental retardation.
  • The presence of memory disorders, and difficulty learning the language and pronunciation. 
  • Vision problems and hearing impairment, in addition to obesity.
  • But despite those differences that appear in their shapes, they are very gentle and do not carry in their hearts hatred, meaning that their hearts are clean.
  • Some tips used in dealing with people with Down syndrome:
  • Parents, first of all, must accept that their son is different from the rest of the children, they must realize that their psychological state affects their children in general and not only those with Down syndrome, they must not evade and be responsible for their son’s endurance and his mental retardation. Stay by his side, they are all he has.
  • In general, there is no cure for Down syndrome completely, but by following the appropriate method and the correct approach in the development and education of the person with Down syndrome, there is a great improvement through training and education in all subjects although this matter requires time because they take more time than ordinary children. .
  • Motivation plays an important role, such as telling him that it is beautiful to be different and achieve the best, or if everyone like you was free from defects such as hatred and evil, you are the strongest, you are the best, prove to everyone that you can do what you want despite his differences, love him in his differences, make him coexist with it And do not be bothered by her, I tell you you are his father, his mother, or his sponsor.
  • Of course, follow up with the specialist doctor, and he will introduce you to the methods of dealing with him and the performance of the person with Down syndrome.
