Our son Joseph was born in 2003 with Tetrasomy 8p – an extremely rare genetic condition (only 13 cases worldwide) impacting Chromosome 8. All previously reported Tetrasomy 8p cases were mosaic (mixed) with normal cells. However, Joe has Tetrasomy 8p mixed with Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21). He is therefore the only person ever reported worldwide to have both of these conditions together. Mosaic genetic conditions are rare. For example, only 2 to 3% of people with Down Syndrome have mosaic Down Syndrome. Most web sites discussing mosaic Down Syndrome assume the mosaicism is with normal cells – not a second chromosomal issue. Mosaicism can sometimes lessen the impact of a genetic condition, due to the presence of normal cells. However, in Joe’s case, he has no normal cells. We were initially told Joe might have Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18. Joe has had other medical issues, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, heart surgery, and fundoplication surgery. We will be uploading other videos on how he was taught to eat and walk. The enclosed video (Part 1) is the inspirational story of his life from birth to age 5. His story is a message of hope to those who may be struggling with a prenatal diagnosis – especially for rare conditions and multiple disabilities.

National Down Syndrome Society NDSS Regal Cinema PSA. Courtesy of National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS). Down syndrome occurs when an individual has three, rather than two, copies of the 21st chromosome. This additional genetic material alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with Down syndrome. Down syndrome is the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition. One in every 733 babies is born with Down syndrome. There are more than 400000 people living with Down syndrome in the United States. Down syndrome occurs in people of all races and economic levels. The incidence of births of children with Down syndrome increases with the age of the mother. But due to higher fertility rates in younger women, 80 percent of children with Down syndrome are born to women under 35 years of age. People with Down syndrome have an increased risk for certain medical conditions such as congenital heart defects, respiratory and hearing problems, Alzheimer’s disease, childhood leukemia, and thyroid conditions. Many of these conditions are now treatable, so most people with Down syndrome lead healthy lives. A few of the common physical traits of Down syndrome are low muscle tone, small stature, an upward slant to the eyes, and a single deep crease across the center of the palm. Every person with Down syndrome is a unique individual and may possess these characteristics to different degrees or not at all. Life expectancy for people with Down syndrome has …

This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from voaspecialenglish.com Human genes are normally organized along forty-six chromosomes in our cells, twenty-three from each parent. But some people are born with an extra copy of the twenty-first chromosome. This third copy is a result of a mistake in cell division. The name for this condition is Down syndrome. A British doctor named John Langdon Down first described it in the eighteen sixties. An estimated three hundred fifty thousand people in the United States have Down syndrome. Many babies with Down syndrome have low muscle tone, so they need extra support when they are held. Their heads are smaller than average and they may have unusually shaped ears. Also, their eyes often angle upward. People with Down syndrome often have other conditions. These include problems with their heart and with their breathing and hearing. A lot of these conditions, though, are treatable. About one in every one hundred people with Down syndrome will develop leukemia, a cancer of the blood. But the National Down Syndrome Society says many of these cases are curable as well. As a result, people with Down syndrome are living longer. In the early nineteen eighties they lived an average of just twenty-five years. Today the life expectancy for someone with Down syndrome is sixty years. But with that longer life, people with Down syndrome may have an increased risk for Alzheimers disease at an early age. An estimated twenty-five percent of those …
