About
Research and clinical care: See Schedule O.Research and clinical care:Down syndrome is a known quantity - it is when a person is born with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two, called triplication. Therefore, scientists can develop better methods to understand how the triplication leads to a higher incidence of certain diseases and protects those same individuals from other diseases. They do so in the following ways:- Updating medical guidelines by conducting research on how many people with Down syndrome have certain conditions or diseases and what interventions or medications work for people with Down syndrome.- Conducting medical or clinical research to improve the health and lifespan of people with Down syndrome.- Conducting basic or laboratory research in conjunction with medical or clinical research.- Expanding awareness through education outreach, government advocacy, and public relations work in coordination with and for the Crnic Institute and the Sie Center.
