Down Syndrome Effects Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that can be detected at an early stage, i.e., in the womb or at birth. It affects one's physical and mental state. Take a look at the Down syndrome effects. Advertisement Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that is a result of the presence of an extra 21st chromosome. The British doctor, John Langdon Down described the syndrome in 1866 and hence it is named as the Down syndrome. It produces many effects in children with this disorder. Let us look at these effects in detail. Effects on the Physique Children with Down syndrome exhibit major or minor differences in their physical structure. They have a single instead of double crease along one or both the palms. Those with Down syndrome have shorter limbs, a poor muscle tone, and an abnormally larger space between the first and the second toe. Typically, they have almond-shaped eyes, a flat-bridged nose, a protruding tongue and a small oral cavity. Susceptibility to other Diseases Children with Down syndrome have a greater risk of heart diseases. They are at a risk for congenital heart diseases and gastroesophageal reflux disease. They may have to suffer from frequent ear infections. Sleep apnea and thyroid problems are common among children with Down syndrome. Epilepsy, leukemia, and disorders of the immune system are among the less common effects of Down syndrome. Effects on Mental Ability Many children with Down syndrome are mentally retarded. Their cognitive development varies. There is a delay in acquiring speech and fine motor skills. Their language and communication skills are very different from those of other children. They are recognizably inarticulate in their language and communication skills. Their emotional and intellectual growth is often retarded. Children with Down syndrome lack social abilities. Some may not be able to do complex thinking that is required in the study of certain subjects. Some may achieve the ability of complex thinking much later in life. Children with Down syndrome show marked learning disabilities. Other Effects There is a reduction in fertility among both men and women with Down syndrome. However, there have been three recorded instances of men with Down syndrome who could become fathers. People with Down syndrome have a comparatively lower risk of getting fatal cancers. Science has not yet found a clear reason for this. But the reduced incidences of cancers in patients of Down syndrome may be the result of tumor-suppressor genes in chromosome 21. Less risk of cancers might also be because those with Down syndrome are less exposed to environmental factors. These people are also less prone to diabetic retinopathy and the hardening of arteries. Down syndrome can be identified during pregnancy or at birth. A healthy environment can support their development. After the detection of Down syndrome, the child should undergo proper medical treatment. Parents must understand their child's problems and provide him/her with suitable assistance. It is important to consider each case of Down syndrome individually, as the effects of this condition vary. Those with Down syndrome should be shown care and concern. Support from parents and educational aids can help make their lives better.

Udruga je organizirala 21.03.2018. Dan otvorenih vrata povodom Dana osoba s Down sindromom. U Udruzi je 11 članova sa ovim sindromom. O Down sindromu:… Prosječno jedno od 650 sve novorođene djece rađa se sa Down sindromom, kromosomskim poremećajem koji nastaje uslijed viška jednog kromosoma ili dijela kromosoma u jezgri svake stanice tijela. Taj poremećaj sprečava normalan fizički i mentalni razvoj djeteta. Sindrom Down uzrokuje pogrešno razvrstavanje kromosoma tijekom stanične diobe spolnih stanica, tako da se u stanici nađe višak cijelog ili dijela jednog kromosoma. S obzirom da postoje tri kopije 21. kromosoma, regularni tip sindroma Down poznat je i kao “trisomija 21″. Unatoč brojnim teškoćama, ali uz podršku osobe sa Down sindromom dio su svake zajednice, bave se raznim aktivnostima, pohađaju školu, a neke su i zaposlene. Žive s obiteljima, ili s prijateljima, a neki i samostalno. Mogućnosti za osobe sa Down sindromom danas su daleko veće nego u prošlosti, temeljem odmicanja tradicionalno postavljenih granica. Kvalitativni pomaci plod su zajedničkih napora roditelja, stručnjaka i šire zajednice. “Ulaznica” su bile šarene, neuparene čarape te smo i na taj način dali podrška osobama s Down sindromom. Pozvali smo sve zainteresirane da dođu u prostore Udruge u ulici Matije Gupca 36 (COOR Križevci) od 13.00 do 16.00 sati.Našem pozivu odazvali su se vrtićanci iz Gradskog vrtića Križevci, skupina Kockice sa tetama, predstavnice Centra za s ocijalnu skrb Križevci, Zavoda za zapošljavanje, Učeničkog doma, Udruge “Hera” i Kluba “Agata”, naši dragi volonteri, roditelji te mediji. Svi zajedno smo uz pjesmu malih vrtićanaca u šarenim čarapama izrađivali čestitke, bojali, ukrašavali i veselili se. Hvala Maslačcima i voditeljicama što su sve pripremili za goste i ispekli kolače i svima koji su došli.
