Abstract:
Down syndrome (DS) is associated with psychomotor retardation, short stature and endocrine dysfunction. Statural growth is a well-known indicator of health. The growth in DS differs markedly from that of other children and there is a 20 cm reduction of final height as compared to target height. We developed growth charts specific for Swedish children with DS, in order to facilitate early diagnosis of concomitant diseases that influence growth. The growth charts are available for paediatricians and child health care professionals in Sweden. The mechanism underlying the impaired growth in DS is

Abstract:
Due to their underlying genetic complexity, chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome (DS), which is caused by trisomy 21, have long been understudied and continue to lack effective treatments. With over 200 genes on the extra chromosome, even the specific cell pathologies and pathways impacted in DS are not known, and it has not been considered a viable target for the burgeoning field of gene therapy. Recently, our lab demonstrated that the natural mechanism of dosage compensation can be harnessed to silence the trisomic chromosome in pluripotent cells. Using an inducible XIST transgene all

Abstract:
This study investigated the sources of support available to mothers of children with Down syndrome. Three levels of social interaction were examined: family support; informal support (friends and neighbours), and; formal support (professionals and social institutions). A questionnaire was circulated to thirty-two mothers of children with Down syndrome. The questionnaire surveyed those formal and informal systems which were potential sources of support for mothers. Findings indicated that mothers experiences were differentially affected by their setting. Mothers were generally satisfied with th

Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease leading to dementia. Neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the two hallmarks of AD neuropathology. The molecular mechanism underlying AD pathogenesis remains unknown. It is believed that deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) protein in the brain plays a pivotal role in AD pathogenesis. Aβ, the central component of neuritic plaques, is derived from β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) by sequential cleavages by β- and γ-secretase. Nearly all individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) show characteristic AD pathological changes after

Abstract:
Previous studies have found that spatial processing in children and adults with Down syndrome is different in comparison to the normal population. Some previous studies have also found that there is a high prevalence of colour vision deficiencies in people with Down syndrome. The aim of the present study was to use an objective test, the transient visual evoked potential (VEP), to assess achromatic and chromatic visual processing in adults with Down syndrome. Achromatic VEPs were recorded in response to black-white stimuli presented in patternreversal mode. Chromatic VEPs were recorded in resp

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the linguistic performance of 16 Cypriot Greek individuals diagnosed with Down Syndrome (henceforth, CGDS), aged 19;0 to 45;11, and compares their performance to 17 Cypriot Greek Typically Developing Children (hereafter, CGTDC), aged 7;0 to 8;11. Three hypotheses were tested to determine whether the differences between the two groups, as well as the Grammar of Cypriot Greek adults with typical development (henceforth, CGTD) were: (i) syntactically, (ii) morphologically, or (iii) phonetically and phonologically conditioned. When consulting previous research, a n

Abstract:
AMKL (acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia) accounts for at least 50% of all cases of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) associated with Down Syndrome (DS). Every tenth neonate with DS develops Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder (TMD), a self-regressing neoplasia with features that closely resemble AMKL. Despite the vast majority of TMD cases self-regressing within a few weeks, approximately 30% of DS infants with TMD develop by the age of 2-4 years a more aggressive, full-blown AMKL. Both DS-TMD and DS-AMKL are associated with trisomy of human chromosome 21 (HSA21) and with acquired mutations of GA
