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.
