The Incidence of Down syndrome in Newborns

Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal pathology. The human body consists of millions of cells, each of which has 46 chromosomes. As a result of a genetic mutation, children with Down syndrome have 47 rather than 46 chromosomes. The clinical presentation of the disease is different: from clear defects in the structure and function of organs to permanent mental disorders and acquired immune deficiency. People with this syndrome need qualified help from doctors of various specialties. The main goal of treatment is to correct physical and mental developmental disorders associated with the disease and to improve the patient's quality of life.
