Down's Syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic condition where a person has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46, causing mental retardation and other problems ranging from mild to serious. Common physical signs include a flattened nose, small ears and mouth, upward slanting eyes, and short hands and fingers. Risk factors include increased maternal age and parents being carriers of the translocation. While there is no cure, early intervention and treatment of complications like heart defects can help development.
