Title: TRISOMY 21- DOWN SYNDROME


1
TRISOMY 21- DOWN SYNDROME
  • Dr. Gupta
  • PL-II

2
Incidence
  • Approximately one in 1000 live births.

3
Genetics
  • Trisomy 21 (47, 21), - 94 , The frequency of
    trisomy increases with increasing maternal age.
  • Robertsonian translocation involving chromosome
    21- Approx. 3-4 , not related to maternal age.
  • Trisomy 21 mosaicism 2 to 3 cases

13
Mental Retardation
  • Almost all DS babies have MR.
  • Mildly to moderately retarded .
  • Starts in the first year of life.
  • Average age of sitting(11 mon), and walking (26
    mon) is twice the typical age.
  • First words at 18 months.
  • IQ declines through the first 10 years of age,
    reaching a plateau in adolescence that continues
    into adulthood.

14
Heart Disease
  • 50 of Down Syndrome pts have heart disease
  • Atrioventricular septal defect
  • VSD
  • Secundum ASD
  • PDA
  • Tetrology of Fallot
  • Mitral valve prolapse
  • AR, MR

15
GI abnormalities
  • 5 of cases
  • Duodenal atresia or stenosis, sometimes assoc
    with annular pancreas in 2.5 of cases
  • Imperforate anus
  • Esophageal atresia with TE fistula is less common
  • Hirschsprungs disease
  • Strong assoc with celiac disease b/w 5 16 ,
    5 16 fold increase as compared to general
    population

16
Growth
  • BW, length and HC are less in DS
  • Reduced growth rate
  • Prevalence of obesity is greater in DS
  • Weight is less than expected for length in
    infants with DS, and then increases disproportion
    ally so that they are obese by age 3-4 yrs

Eye problems
  • Most common disorders are
  • Refractory error 35 to 76 percent
  • Strabismus 25 to 57 percent
  • Nystagmus 18 to 22 percent
  • Cataract occur in 5 of newborns.
  • Frequency increases with age.

19
Hearing loss
  • Unilateral or bilateral
  • Conductive, sensorineural or mixed
  • Otitis media is a frequent problem

20
Hematologic disorders
  • The risk of leukemia is 1 to 1.5 percent.
  • 65 of newborn have polycythemia resulting in
    hypoglycemia.
  • Risk of AML and ALL is also much higher than the
    general population.
  • Transient leukemia exclusively affects NB.
  • - It is asymptomatic with spontaneous
    resolution in 2-3 months.
  • - Vesiculopustular skin eruptions are common
    and resolve with disorder.

21
Endocrine disorder
  • Thyroid disease Hypothyroidism occurs more
    frequently than hyperthyroidism.
  • Diabetes The risk of type 1 diabetes is three
    times greater than that of the general population.

22
Reproduction
  • Women with DS are fertile and may become
    pregnant.
  • Nearly all males with DS are infertile. The
    mechanism is impairment of spermatogenesis

23
Atlantoaxial instability
  • Excessive mobility of atlas (C1) and the axis
    (C2), may lead to subluxation of the cervical
    spine.
  • Diagnosis made by lateral neck radiograph.
  • Patients are advised to avoid contact sports.

24
Sleep apnea
  • Obstructive sleep apnea is more common.

25
Skin disorder
  • Palmoplantar hyperkeratosis
  • Seborreic dermatitis
  • Fissured tongue
  • Cutis marmorata
  • Geographical tongue
  • Xerosis

26
Diagnosis
  • Prenatal screening
  • If no screening It is recognized from the
    characteristic phenotypic features.
  • Confirmed by Karyotype.

27
Management
  • 1. Growth Measurements should be plotted on the
    appropriate growth chart for children with DS.
  • This will help in prevention of obesity and
    early diagnosis of celiac disease and
    hypothyroidism.
  • 2. Cardiac disease All newborns should be
    evaluated by cardiac ECHO for CHD in consultation
    with pediatric cardiologist.
  • 3. Hearing Screening to be done in the newborn
    period, every 6 months until 3 yrs of age and
    then annually.

28
Management (cont.)
  • 4. Eye disorders - An eye exam should be
    performed in the newborn period or at least
    before 6 months of age to detect strabismus,
    nystagmus, and cataracts.
  • 5. Thyroid Function Should be done in newborn
    period and should be repeated at six and 12
    months , and then annually.
  • 6. Celiac Disease Screening should begin at 2
    yrs. Repeat screening if signs/Sx develop.

29
Management ( cont)
  • Hematology CBC with differential at birth to
    evaluate for polycythemia as well as WBC.
  • Atlanto-axial instability X ray for evidence of
    AAI or sub-luxation at 3 to 5 years of age.
  • Alzheimers disease Adult with a Down Syndrome
    has earlier onset of symptoms. When diagnosis is
    considered, thyroid disease and possible
    depression should be excluded.

30
Mortality
Median age of death has increased from 25 yrs in
1983 to 49 yrs in 1997, an average of 1.7 yrs
increase per year. Most likely cause of death
is CHD, Dementia, Hypothyroidism and
Leukemia. Improved survival is because of
increased placements of infants in homes
and changes in treatment for common causes of
death. Survival is better for males and blacks.
31
Counseling
  • May begin when a prenatal diagnosis is made.
  • Discuss the wide range of variability in
    manifestation and prognosis.
  • Medical and educational treatments and
    interventions should be discussed.
  • Initial referrals for early intervention,
    informative publications, parent groups, and
    advocacy groups.
