Down Syndrome. Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features, and mild to moderate intellectual disability.PubMed Health Glossary.(Source: Wikipedia).own syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.

The most well known and most common autosomal abnormality is Down syndrome. This is a mild to severe form of mental retardation accompanied by distinctive physical traits. People with Down syndrome have an irregularity with autosome pair 21. In most cases, there is an extra chromosome (i.e., trisomy 21). More rarely (3-5%), there is a structural modification in this chromosome. Specifically, there is a translocation of all or part of chromosome 21 to chromosome 14 or 15. The actual genes on chromosome 21 that are responsible for Down syndrome are now being identified. It is thought that there are at least 350 genes involved. About 2-4% of the people with Down syndrome are genetically mosaic. That is, some of their cells have chromosome 21 trisomy while others do not, resulting in generally milder symptoms. The translocational type of Down syndrome also usually has less severe symptoms.
