“possibly had a form of Down’s Syndrome”
What does that even mean? How can they be unsure or speak of a “form” of Down’s syndrome? There’s only one type of Down’s syndrome. It’s the result of having 3 chromosome 21s instead of 2. While this can be caused by different mechanisms, the resulting symptoms are the same (though they may vary in severity). As far as I know only mosaicism could potentially give fewer symptoms but mosaicism as a cause for Down’s syndrom is extremely rare.
In any case, they should know by now whether or not she had Down’s syndrome.
I’d like to know what exactly they based this diagnosis on... Because if it’s just based on her facial features, she may as well be of Mongolian descent (no offence).
There are 3 types of DS - one been Mosiac DS - many people with this type go through life not aware they actually have it!
