Down's Disease

This syndrome occurs in various forms in a child in the womb (Asperger's syndrome). The cause of the disease is currently unknown to science. Studies show a negative effect on the development of various parts of the brain - but it is not possible to draw complete conclusions. This disease manifests itself for the first time in a person’s life, the symptoms constantly worsen and, ultimately, they can no longer be ignored. Treatment of the syndrome is mainly based on the use of tranquilizers, antidepressants, and various nootropic drugs, but the prognosis for this disease is disappointing.

Most often, this is due to a metabolic disorder responsible for the intercellular transmission of information, which leads to disruption of the normal functions of genes. The sooner the symptoms of the syndrome are detected, the fewer negative consequences. Genetic examination



Down syndrome is a hereditary disease that manifests itself as mental retardation, delayed physical and psychological development, as well as other symptoms. It is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, which leads to impaired development of the brain and other organs.

The disease was first described by a physician named John Down in 1866. He described the symptoms of the disease and proposed the name “trisomy syndrome” (from the Greek tri - three and soma - body), i.e. the presence of three copies of a chromosome instead of two, as is normal. The name Down syndrome was adopted later, after a group of geneticists led by Francis Glick showed in 1959 that Down syndrome is caused by extra copies of the 21st chromosome.

Currently, scientists continue to study this disease to understand how it occurs and what treatments exist. However, even if there is no exact answer to this question, it is clear that Down syndrome can significantly change a person's life. It requires a special approach to patient care and socialization in society.

One of the main tasks for doctors and parents is to maintain the quality of life of a child with Down syndrome. This includes assistance with learning, social adjustment, physical development and a healthy family environment. It is important to understand that each child with Down syndrome is unique, and the approach to its treatment must be individualized.

One of the treatments for Down syndrome is chromosome therapy, which uses drugs containing
