چکیده
Down syndrome is characterized by a series of minor anomalies that eachoccurwitha frequencyofabout50– 80% and will not, therefore, be present in all persons with Down syndrome. Conversely, it will be very rare for any single individual with Down syndrome to have all these anomalies, which include brachycephaly, oblique (upslanting) palpebral fissures, epicanthic folds, Brushfield spots, folded or dysplastic ears, flat nasal bridge, narrow palate, open mouth, protruding tongue and furrowed tongue, abnormal teeth, short neck with loose skin on nape, hyperflexibility, short broad hands, short and incurved fifth finger, transverse palmar crease, gap between first and second toes and altered dermatoglyphic patterns. This variability in phenotypic expression is believed to stem from genetic, stochastic and extrinsic (environmental) sources.
