Creating Awareness For Down Syndrome In Nigeria | THE ADVOCATE NG
Channel: Plus TV Africa
Date: 2021-10-25

Welcome to the Advocate On PlusTV Africa where a panel of 'passionate for change' individuals discuss thought-provoking topics in an atmosphere of seriousness, decisiveness, and laughter. Here, we call a spade a spade. And Like we say here, no holds barred.

Down syndrome, the scientific name is Trisomy 21 and it is a genetic condition where a baby is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. That means instead of having 46 chromosomes (23 from the mum and 23 from the dad) they are born with 47 because of the extra copy of chromosome 21.
Common characteristics of the condition are upward slanted eyes, flat face, low muscle tone, developmental and learning delays.
