World Down Syndrome Day
March 21 is recognized internationally as World Down Sydrome Day. The day represents the uniqueness of
Down syndrome in the triplication, trisomy of the 21st chromosome, 3/21. Down syndrome is a genetic condition that causes delays in physical and intellectual development. It occurs in approximately 1 in every 691 live births, making it the most frequently occuring chromosomal disorder.
