Additional Information:
Down syndrome (also called Trisomy 21) is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in extra genetic material from chromosome 21. While varied amongst patients, a few common physical traits of some children who have Down syndrome are low muscle tone, a difficult airway for intubation, smaller stature, gapping in the toes, almond-shaped eyes, a single deep crease across the centre of the palm, smaller hands and feet – all of which are accurately represented in the world’s first Child who has Down Syndrome training manikin, Gwen.
