A century after Down syndrome was first described, scientists discovered that the root cause of this disorder is a condition called trisomy 21. What strides in research have been made since then?

This shows maternal-age-specific estimates of trisomy among all clinically recognized human pregnancies, generated by combining data from individual trisomies and assuming a spontaneous abortion ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro proof-of-concept study. Down syndrome is caused by the presence of a third copy ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow for trisomy disorders to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in ...

FOR TOO long, Black children with Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) have been invisible, absent from mainstream representation, ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro proof-of-concept study. Down syndrome is caused by the presence of a third copy ...

Medically reviewed by Brigid Dwyer, MD Mosaic Down syndrome is a variant of Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a congenital ...

The fragments also directly compromise synapses they encounter along the way, according to a preprint posted February 24 on bioRxiv. Specifically, tau fragments containing the microtubule binding ...

Numerical chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidies) -- the presence of an extra chromosome (trisomy) or a missing chromosome (monosomy) -- result from segregation errors during cell division ...
