World Down Syndrome Day is on 21 March every year 📌

The date being the 21st day of the 3rd month was chosen to represent the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes – 46 in total.

People with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome added onto the 21st pair – 47 in total.

Chromosomes act like an instruction manual that defines how our bodies look and how they work.

People who have Down syndrome usually have an intellectual disability. This is different in each person.

Some health conditions are more common in people with Down syndrome.

Around 1 in every 800 babies will be born with Down syndrome.

Down syndrome occurs naturally – there is no known cause.
