Presentation
We have shown that collagen type VI, alpha 2 (COL6A2,) S100 protein, beta polypeptide (neural), (S100B), and D21S44 are present in only one copy in both ring carriers, while CRYA1, CBS, D21S43, D21S42, D21S41, and D21S39 are present in two copies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
AB - Nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) are present on the satellite stalks located on the short arms of the acrocentric chromosomes. [nyuscholars.nyu.edu]

Babinski Sign
The patient was referred to our Unit because of persistent thrombocytopenia and syndactyly, pes planus and a bilateral Babinski sign. The remainder of physical examination revealed curly hair, thin upper lip, broad nasal bridge and tip. [omicsonline.org]

Prognosis [ 3 ] The survival of people with Down's syndrome has dramatically increased in the past few decades, largely as a result of improved surgical repair of congenital heart defects. [patient.info]
Etiology
Karyotype assessment is important to consider in all epilepsies where the etiology is uncertain as dysmorphic features may be subtle or not apparent. Karyotype examination should be extended to 50-100 mitoses to exclude mosaicism. [epilepsydiagnosis.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Incidence Down's syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders, affecting 1 in 650-1,000 [ 5 ]. The underlying genetic defect is trisomy 21 in 94% of cases. [patient.info]
