Discussing Down Syndrome with Surgeon Dr.Javed Arshad | Part 01 | Life with Health | Shabana

Down syndrome is not a disease, it is a genetic condition and in the majority of cases, children grow up to lead healthy and productive lives. They perform their daily tasks the way other children do. ​ Down syndrome is basically a chromosomal condition where an atypical cell division leads to the development of an extra chromosome in the reproductive cell. This extra chromosome causes a change in the development of the brain and body. People with Down syndrome tend to have certain distinctive facial features. They also experience some degree of intellectual disability, which can vary from mild to moderate. #DownSyndrome #Pakistan
