What Is Down Syndrome:
Down Syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder caused by an extra 21st chromosome (called Trisomy 21) that can cause physical and mental anomalies. Most notably, a learning disability. Individuals are often considered incapable of doing and learning many things. This is not entirely accurate.
