A reexamination of the receptive–expressive language gap in individuals with Down syndrome
Conclusion is that the assumption cannot be made that the receptive–expressive language gap is the same at different ages and that there is a need to individually assess receptive and expressive language skills at all ages.

The skin and its manifestations in the clinical history of children with Down's syndrome
Publication date: July 2011 Source:International Medical Review on Down Syndrome, Volume 15, Issue 2 Author(s): M.D. Pozo Cano , E. González Jiménez , J. Álvarez Ferre , E. Martínez García , M.C. Navarro Jiménez Chromosomal disorders are not usually associated with specific alterations of the skin, with Down's syndrome being an exception, because the skin of the newborn with this syndrome is soft, thin and delicate. It subsequently becomes coarser, drier and rougher, and generalised xerosis associated with keratosis pilaris is common. In the case of mucous membranes, macroglossia and scrotal tongue with protrusion ...

Scientists Show Silencing Extra Chromosome Responsible for Down Syndrome is Possible
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Medical School have shown that the extra copy of chromosomes 21 responsible for Down syndrome can be silenced in the laboratory using patient-derived stem cells. The discovery provides the first evidence that the underlying genetic defect responsible for Down syndrome can be suppressed in cells in culture (in vitro). The scientists say the discovery "paves the way for researchers to study the cell pathologies and identify genome-wide pathways implicated in the disorder, a goal that has so far proven elusive."

Talking About People with Down syndrome and College
When parents and educators talk about the development of people with Down syndrome, we have to be very careful that the goals we set for our children are not based on other people´s achievements. Yes, it's true that more and more people with Down syndrome are going to college. Many of them have achieved what was considered unachievable years ago; they have graduated from college and are living fairly independent lives. But this situation doesn't mean that every person with Down syndrome will do the same, or that they need to in order to be happy....Read Full Post

Identification of key genes involved in Down's syndrome pathogenesis by gene therapy
Publication date: May–August 2014 Source:International Medical Review on Down Syndrome, Volume 18, Issue 2 Author(s): C. Fillat , X. Bofill-De Ros , M. Santos , E.D. Martín , N. Andreu , E. Villanueva , D. d’Amico , M. Dierssen , X. Altafaj Viruses have evolved ways of encapsulating and delivering their genes into human cells. Gene therapy takes advantage of this capability to manipulate the viral genome and convert an infectious agent into an efficient vector that delivers therapeutic genes. In the current work we have applied gene therapy approaches based on adeno-associated virus and lentivirus delivery to identi...

Attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity or impulsivity in children with Down's syndrome
Publication date: July 2011 Source:International Medical Review on Down Syndrome, Volume 15, Issue 2 Author(s): M. Hernández Martínez , X. Pastor Duran , J. Navarro Navarro Children with Down's syndrome show a higher prevalence of attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity or impulsivity (ADHD) than the rest of the general population. The diagnosis and identification of ADHD is important because it can affect performance at school and cause behavioural disturbances. This research study has two objectives. First of all, in this review we consider the repercussions that ADHD has on Down's syndrome children....

Achondroplasia and Down's syndrome – case report of a rare association
We report the case of a girl that is unique since she was born from a mother with achondroplasia and a healthy father. Achondroplasia was dominantly inherited from the mother but at birth she had features of Down's syndrome as well, confirmed later by kariotype. We review her evolution regarding physical health, cognitive problems and adaptive behavior during her eight years of life. To our knowledge this is the first report of the combination of both disorders in which the achondroplasia was inherited and not a “de novo” mutation. We address the problems resulting from the additional burden of having two disorders, an...

Sexuality and Down syndrome
Discussion People with Down's syndrome can undergo unharmonious development or remain anchored in previous evolutionary stages. This situation, together with difficulties to symbolise, can lead to psychotic mental disorders, as in this case.
