What Is World Down Syndrome Day?
Trisomy 21, more commonly referred to as Down Syndrome, is a chromosomal arrangement that is present in about 1 in 800 births. It's a naturally occurring phenomenon that has always been present in humans, and does not discriminate across lines of race, gender or socioeconomic status. People affected by this extra chromosome experience a varying range of developmental abilities, physical characteristics, and health related issues.
Effective December 19, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly declared March 21 to be World Down Syndrome Day. The chosen date is symbolic for a couple of reasons. First, the third month of the year (March) represents the triplication (trisomy) of the affected chromosome. Seond, the selected day refers to the 21st chromosome that causes Down Syndrome.
The purpose of World Down Syndrome Day is to educate the general population about this chromosomal abnormality and what it does and does not mean. The end goal is to foster full, complete, and effective inclusion in society of all people who have Down Syndrome.
