Medical Genetics Other genes that are also suspects include APP, GLUR5, S100B TAM, PFKL, and a few others. Again it is important to note that no gene has yet been fully linked to any feature associated with down syndrome

Medical Genetics One of the more notable aspects of Down syndrome is the wide variety of features and characteristics of people with trisomy 21: There is a wide range of mental retardation and developmental delay noted among children with Down syndrome

Medical Genetics Some babies are born with heart defects and others arent Some children have associated illnesses such as epilepsy, hypothyroidism or celiac disease, and others dont. The first possible reason is the difference in the genes that are triplicated

Medical Genetics The effect of overexpression of genes may depend on which allele is present in the person with trisomy 21. The second reason that might be involved is called penetrance, and that appears to be what happens with trisomy 21: the alleles dont do the same thing to every person who has it. Both reasons may be why there is such variation in children and adults with Down syndrome
