Down's Syndrome is a genetic condition that is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are in every cell in the body. These chromosomes carry our characteristics in DNA. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in every cell, which makes 46 all together. One chromosome in each pair comes from the mother, the other comes from the father. Those with Down's Syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, which makes 47.
甚麼是唐氏綜合症?
正常人每個細胞中有四十六條染色體,每條染色體包括各種遺傳基因,如長相、智力和皮膚顏色等;由於染色體出問題,就會有機會是唐氏綜合症,染色體的變化主要來自三大種類:
廿一三體症
此情形是第廿一對染色體上加多了一條染色體,唐氏綜合症人士的細胞中有四十七條染色體,接近95%的唐氏綜合症人士是屬於這類型的。
染色體移位
細胞中多出的一條染色體,其某部份會依附在其他的染色體,特別是會出現在第十四對或廿一對染色體上,有5-6%的唐氏綜合症人士是屬於此類。
無色體
此類非所有細胞有四十七條染色體,有些是四十七條,有些是四十六條的,這種情形較為罕有,只有1%的唐氏綜合症人士是屬此類。
為何叫唐氏綜合症(Down Syndrome)?
唐氏綜合症是於一八六六年,由唐.蘭登醫生發現,當時他看到一群人有相同的特徵,於是便取其姓氏-Down,定名這症狀為唐氏綜合症。
唐氏綜合症成因是什麼?
其成因仍是個謎;但從過往統計得知,父母年紀越大,出生孩子有唐氏綜合症的機會會越高,一般認為高齡產婦遇上的機會較大。
唐氏綜合症可以醫治嗎?
這並非疾病,是一種由遺傳因子引起的情況,故不能用藥物或手術去根治;唐氏綜合症人士需要的是及早和充裕的訓練和機會,只有透過不斷的學習,才能使他們健康愉快地成長。
