5 DO YOU HAVE DOWN SYNDROME? YES. THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.
6 1. INTRODUCTION WHAT IS DOWN SYNDROME? A SYNDROME IS GROUP OF DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS. WHEN ENOUGH OF THESE CHARACTERISTICS HAPPEN TOGETHER, THEY MAKE A SYNDROME. DOWN SYNDROME IS ONE OF THEM. DOWN SYNDROME IS NOT A DISEASE. DOWN SYNDROME HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON IS BORN WITH ONE CHROMOSOME MORE IN EVERY CELL OF THEIR BODY. PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME HAVE THREE CHROMOSOMES NUMBER 21, ONE MORE THAN OTHER PEOPLE. THAT S WHY MANY PEOPLE CALL DOWN SYNDROME TRISSOMY 21. PERSON WITH TWO CHROMOSOMES 21 PERSON WITH THREE CHROMOSOMES 21
7 WHAT IS A CELL? THE HUMAN BODY IS FORMED BY MANY, MANY CELLS. ONE CELL MANY CELLS CELLS ARE PRESENT IN ALL PARTS OF OUR BODY. PEOPLE WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT CELLS.
8 WHAT IS A CHROMOSOME? CHROMOSOMES ARE SMALL PARTS OF CELLS THAT CARRY INFORMATION ABOUT PEOPLE. THE CHROMOSOMES DETERMINE THE COLOUR OF EYES, SHAPE OF NOSE, HEIGHT AND MANY OTHER THINGS. CHROMOSOME CHROMOSOMES IN A CELL
9 WHO MAY HAVE DOWN SYNDROME? ANYONE CAN BE BORN WITH DOWN SYNDROME. IN BRAZIL, THERE ARE MORE OR LESS 270 THOUSAND PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME. WHY DOES DOWN SYNDROME HAVE THIS NAME? THE NAME COMES FROM THE ENGLISH DOCTOR JOHN LANGDON DOWN, WHO WAS THE FIRST TO WRITE ABOUT DOWN SYNDROME. DR. JOHN LANGDON DOWN
10 2. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE DOWN SYNDROME? PHYSICAL SIGNS NOBODY IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ANYONE ELSE. IF YOU HAVE DOWN SYNDROME, YOU CAN LOOK LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE DOWN SYNDROME. YOU WILL ALSO LOOK LIKE YOUR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS. ALL PERSONS ARE DIFFERENT. PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME VARY AS MUCH AS ALL OTHER PERSONS.
11 NOT EVERY PERSON WITH DOWN SYNDROME WILL HAVE EVERY CHARACTERISTIC, BUT ALL PERSONS WILL HAVE SOME OF THESE CHARACTERISTICS. WHAT ARE THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON WITH DOWN SYNDROME? HAIR: SMOOTH AND THIN. HEAD: FLAT ON THE BACK. EYES: SLANTED. EAR: SMALL EARS. LOCATED IN LINE BELOW EYE. NOSE: SMALL AND FLATENED. NECK: FAT IN THE NECK. MOUTH: DEEP ROOF OF MOUTH, LESS TEETH. CAN HAPPEN TO STICK THE TONGUE OUT. MUSCLES: LOW MUSCLE TONE, CALLED HYPOTONIA. HANDS: SINGLE LINE IN HAND, BENT FIFTH FINGER. FEET: SEPARATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND TOES.
12 BEYOND THESE PHYSICAL, IT IS IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO CERTAIN DISEASES AND CHANGES IN YOUR BODY. EYES EARS PROBLEM: HARD TO SEE (CATARACT, MYOPIA, HYPERTROPIA) PROBLEM 1: HEARING LOSS CHANCES OF HAPPENING TO YOU: CHANCES OF HAPPENING TO YOU: HIGH CHANCE HIGH CHANCE PROBLEM 2: INFECTIONS CHANCES OF HAPPENING TO YOU: HIGH CHANCE

18 ENDOCRINE SYSTEM PROBLEM: THYROID GLAND FUNCTIONS BADLY CHANCES OF HAPPENING TO YOU: LITTLE CHANCE
19 KARYOTYPE - DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY TO CONFIRM IF YOU HAVE DOWN SYNDROME IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE A BLOOD TEST CALLED KARYOTYPE. THE KARYOTYPE SHOWS THE CHROMOSOMES OF YOUR CELL, SO WE CAN SEE HOW MANY CHROMOSOMES YOU HAVE. IF KARYOTYPE SHOWS THREE CHROMOSOMES IN PAIR 21, WE CAN SAY THAT YOU HAVE DOWN SYNDROME. KARYOTYPE PERSON WITH THREE CHROMOSOMES 21
20 3. DOUBTS ABOUT THE FUTURE... PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME MAY HAVE CHILDREN? IF YOU ARE A WOMAN AND HAVE DOWN SYNDROME, YOU CAN GET PREGNANT AND HAVE BABIES. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND HAVE DOWN SYNDROME, THE CHANCES OF YOU GETTING A WOMAN PREGNANT IS VERY SMALL. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE MANY MEN WITH DOWN SYNDROME ARE STERILE. BABIES CANNOT HAPPEN EVEN IF YOU HAVE SEX. CHILDREN FROM PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME ALSO HAVE DOWN SYNDROME? THIS COULD HAPPEN. THE CHANCES ARE GREAT.
