The Relationship Between Hypothyroidism and Cardiac Findings in Children With and Without Down Syndrome
CONCLUSION: Cardiac morphology and functions were signi���cantly a���ected by hypothyroidism in patients with Down syndrome. Hypertrophy in Down syndrome may be caused by the cellular changes in myocardium.PMID:36999332 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2023.70337

Happy is the Word on World Down Syndrome Day!
"Happy" is the word of the day because today is World Down Syndrome Day. Jérôme Lejeune, a French geneticist, was the man who discovered the cause of Down Syndrome. Before his discovery, Down Syndrome brought shame, as Mark Bradford at the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation explains:“Thank you, Professor Lejeune, for what you did for my father and my mother.  Because of you, I am proud of myself.” This brief and unplanned eulogy was given at Jérôme Lejeune’s funeral in 1994 by his patient, Bruno, whose karyotype was one of the first to reveal, in 1958, that an extra copy of the 21st chromosome caused Down sy...

Why We Should All Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day
March 21st is internationally recognized as World Down Syndrome Day. Just like typical people, individuals with Down syndrome have two copies of each of their 23 chromosomes but they have third copy of chromosome 21, a genetic condition known as trisomy 21, hence the celebration on March 21st or 3-21. While it is important to celebrate all the things that people with Down syndrome can do and how similar they are to others, I would argue it is equally important to acknowledge the ongoing fight against discrimination that their differences evoke. If we consider that discrimination leveled against women or African Americans ...

Reading Skills in Down Syndrome: Implications for Clinical Practice
This article reviews the available research on reading in Down syndrome and offers guidance for SLPs working with this population. We start by reviewing the Down syndrome phenotype, highlighting physical features and cognitive and linguistic patterns of strength and weakness that impact reading development. Next, we define different reading subskills and outline typical reading development, including stages of prereading, learning to read, and transitioning to using reading as a tool for learning. We then use these stages to review what is known about reading in Down syndrome, including relevant intervention work. We also ...
