CAUSES & RISK FACTORS

What Causes Down Syndrome?

Down Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21 (Trisomy 21). It is not caused by anything parents did before or during pregnancy, and it can occur in any family.

Extra Chromosome 21

Down Syndrome occurs when a child is born with an additional copy of chromosome 21, affecting physical and cognitive development.

Random Genetic Event

The extra chromosome usually results from a random event during cell division before or at conception.

Maternal Age

The likelihood of having a baby with Down Syndrome increases with maternal age, although it can occur at any age.

Early Support Matters

While Down Syndrome cannot be prevented, early therapies and family support help children achieve their full potential.
