Overview

What is Down syndrome?

Down syndrome is when a child is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. (Chromosomes are what makes you you!) This extra copy affects mental and physical development. About 1 in 700 babies are born with Down Syndrome each year. Kids born with DS go to school, play sports, and can do anything anyone else can do; it just may take a bit longer.
