Down Syndrome | Birth Defects | CDC About 95% of people with Down syndrome have Trisomy 21 In this type, an extra part or a whole extra chromosome 21 is present However, the extra chromosome is attached or "trans-located" to a different chromosome rather than being a separate chromosome 21 This type accounts for about 3% of people with Down syndrome
Understanding the Three Different Types of Down Syndrome Of the three different types of Down syndrome, trisomy 21 is the most common (around 95%), and mosaic Down syndrome is the least common (around 2%) While those with trisomy 21 have a greater chance of having lower IQs, those with mosaic Down syndrome tend to have higher IQs when tested
Trisomy | Description, Cause, Examples | Britannica Trisomy can affect some or all cells in the body and is present at birth, often being associated with various congenital disorders Trisomies are caused by spontaneous and random errors in the separation of a chromosome pair in the course of cell division (meiosis) during fertilization
