Down syndrome may be suspected and/or diagnosed during pregnancy, or after a child is born. During pregnancy, a woman can opt to have specific tests that may either screen for, or diagnosis, Down syndrome in a fetus. A screening test poses no risks to the fetus and can determine the likelihood that a fetus has Down syndrome. It may show that a fetus is at an increased risk to be affected, but. Screening for Down syndrome is offered as a routine part of prenatal care. Although screening tests can only identify your risk of carrying a baby with Down syndrome, they can help you make decisions about more-specific diagnostic tests. Screening tests include the first trimester combined test and the integrated screening test The Down Syndrome Federation provides a range of supports and services for people with Down syndrome, their families and supporters. We also provide services to schools, health professionals and other professionals who want to learn more about Down syndrome.

Abstract 1.1 Background. Children with Down syndrome have an increased risk of serious health conditions, particularly in early childhood. Published guidelines promote the identification and monitoring of health issues and adherence could reduce health inequalities, yet there is limited research about the extent to which health monitoring occurs as recommended Brief Reports; Published: August 1995; Brief report: Obsessive-compulsive disorder in adults with Down's Syndrome. V. P. Prasher 1 & S. Day 2 Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders volume 25, pages 453-458 (1995)Cite this articl The chromosomal basis of Down syndrome, trisomy 21, has been recognized for nearly half a century (Book et al. 1959; Ford et al. 1959; Jacobs et al. 1959; Lejeune 1959), and the link between Down syndrome and advanced maternal age predates that discovery by at least another half century (Penrose 1933; Penrose 1934).In the United States, over 5,000 infants are born with Down syndrome (DS) each. Clinicians can usually tell if a baby should be tested for Down syndrome based on a physical examination. The first test, a rapid blood test (FISH), confirms the presence of extra material from chromosome 21. Results are available within a few days. A karyotype test is a blood test that takes about 1-2 weeks for results The National Down Syndrome Society is . the leading human rights organization for all individuals with Down syndrome .
