We all know that Downs Syndrome is caused by people having 3 of chromosone 21 insted of 2. Downs syndrome is a problem you can mainly sort out by treating them as a person not  a disabled person. All it takes is to explain whatever you are talking about a little clearer. About 1 in 1000 people have downs syndrome. One of the amazing this about this Syndrome is that all of the people with downs syndrome look alike. As you can most likely tell I know lots about downs syndrome and if you have any questions or quereys I will happily answer them.

Its amazing the human body you think one more chromosome wld be better but it does damge to ur body

yes it is and if you look at a Karotype (map of chromosones) 21 is so small. most people think that this does no damage but it un balences the chomosones causing down's syndrome.

isent there anyone esle on here who works with a person with downs syndrome???

wow you know alot of stuff there Joel!

Yeah I agree its funny how tiny a gene is and yet it can cause such a big change in a person's behaviour, physical abilities etc. Genetics is a wierd and wonderful thing!

It is like we are a computer and programmed certain ways..that how i imagine genetics..like a big switchboard. 

How are you?
