Down Syndrome

Comment

Share it!

Down syndrome (DS) is a congenital disorder that was first described as early as 1866 by Langdon Down, a London - based physician. It was earlier referred to as 'mongolism' (based on the facial features of the affected individuals) - a term that is discouraged from being used today. It is also known as 'Up syndrome' because of the cheerful persona of the Down children.
