Other Rare Disorders

People with Down syndrome are at increased risk for certain health problems. While there is an increased risk for certain medical conditions compared to the general population, advances in medicine have rendered most of these health problems treatable and most people with Down syndrome lead healthy lives. Congenital heart defects, increased susceptibility to infection, respiratory and hearing problems, obstructed digestive tracts, sleep apnea and childhood leukemia occur with greater frequency in children with Down syndrome. Adults with Down syndrome are also at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease, thyroid conditions and sleep apnea. The majority of people born with Down syndrome today have an average life expectancy of 55 years, with some living into their seventies.
