Title: Down Syndrome Market - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Down syndrome occurs when a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small units of genes in the body. These chromosomes determine how the body of a baby forms and functions as the baby grows during pregnancy and even after birth. Babies born with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21. Patients suffering from Down syndrome have a mild to moderately low IQ and are also slower to speak during childhood than other children. Some common features of Down syndrome include a short neck, a flattened face, small ears, almond-shaped eyes, small hands and feet, and poor muscle tone (loose joints). – PowerPoint PPT presentation
