Down syndrome
Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
DEFINITION
Down syndrome is the most common autosomal abnormality among live births. Most Down syndrome cases result from true trisomy 21, with trisomy 21 mosaicism and translocations involving chromosome 21 each accounting for less than 5 percent of the diagnoses The prenatal prevalence of Down syndrome is much higher than among live births, with only approximately 70 percent of fetuses with Down syndrome identified in mid-second trimester surviving to term
DEMOGRAPHIC AND REPRODUCTIVE FACTORS
The only well established risk factor for Down syndrome is advanced maternal age. Age-specific rates have been well documented (Hecht 1996). However, if the child has the syndrome as a result of a translocation in chromosome 21 and either or both parents are translocation carriers, there is an increased risk for additional children to also have the syndrome. It should be noted that this is a very rare condition.
Down syndrome prevalence is known to vary by race/ethnicity. Hispanic infants were found to exhibit higher rates of Down syndrome than other infants, even after differences in maternal age were considered .
