Congenital Heart Disease in Children with Down Syndrome. Children with Down syndrome are at a much higher risk for congenital heart disease. As a comparison: the incidence of congenital heart disease in the general population is 0.8 percent. The incidence of congenital heart disease in children with Down syndrome is between 40-60 percent. Some heart defects can be left alone with careful monitoring while others require surgery to correct the problem. The following types of heart defects in children with Down syndrome are discussed below.
Scientists have successfully turned off the chromosome defect that causes Down syndrome. Down syndrome, also called Trisomy 21, is a genetic condition in which a person has three copies of chromosome 21, resulting in 47 chromosomes instead of 46. It is one of the most common causes of human birth defects. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Down syndrome had an incidence rate of 11.8 babies per 10,000 live births from 1999 to 2003.
