Down syndrome is a genetic condition which causes varying degrees of learning disability as well as other health problems. Nearly one baby in every 1000 born in the UK has the condition. Parents are often frightened and confused by the birth of a baby with Down syndrome, and they need reassurance as well as up-to-date information regarding the condition. The new edition of this highly regarded book for parents of children with Down syndrome covers a number of important new developments in research and clinical practice that have occurred in the field in recent years. These include several newly recognised medical conditions that are known to occur more commonly in patients with Down syndrome, for example, glaucoma, gastrointestinal malformations, feeding difficulties, gastro-oesophageal reflux, coeliac disease, and diabetes. This expanded edition also includes new recommendations regarding routine health checks in line with those of the UK Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group (UKDSMIG). Additionally the book covers new prenatal screening methods which have been developed to identify Down syndrome during pregnancy.

Elle, c'est ma fille. Louise. Qui a quatre mois, deux bras, deux jambes, des bonnes grosses joues et un chromosome en plus. S'il vous plaît, quand vous rencontrez une Louise, ne demandez pas à sa mère : « Ça n'a pas été dépisté pendant la grossesse ? » Soit ça l'a été et la décision de « garder l'enfant » est assumée, soit ça ne l'a pas été et la surprise a été assez importante pour ne pas revenir dessus. Ne dites pas à sa mère : « C'est votre bébé malgré tout ». Non, c'est mon bébé, point. C'est l'histoire, émouvante et souvent drôle, du chemin parcouru par une jeune femme bien ancrée dans sa supposée normalité, et dont la petite fille vient faire exploser les certitudes et les horizons. Une véritable ode à la différence.

This book provides a concise yet comprehensive source of current information on Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. Research workers, scientists, medical graduates and paediatricians will find it an excellent source for reference and review. Key features of this book are as follows: • Mechanisms of aneuploidy. • Effect of sociodemographic factors on different congenital disorders. • Haematological malignancies and congenital heart disease in Down syndrome. • Prenatal screening, management and counselling to detect Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. While aimed primarily at research workers on Down syndrome and different types of chromosomal disorders, we hope that the appeal of this book will extend beyond the narrow confines of academic interest and be of interest to a wider audience, especially the parents and relatives of children suffering from Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormality syndromes.
