Question:
How does a person develop down syndrome? pls. explain the pathophysiology...?
Answers:
A person with down syndrome has a duplicate chromosome - chromosome 21. 95% of the time this happens by Nondisfunction, which is a faulty cell division that happens usually when the child is concieved, when a pair of number 21 chromosomes (either on the dad's side or the mother's side) fail to seperate.
