Explanation : Approximately 40% of the patients have congenital heart disease. The most frequent forms of congenital heart diseases in Down syndrome are atrioventricular septal defects constituting 43% of cases, whereas ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and tetralogy of Fallot also involved. Children with trisomy 21 have a high risk of developing leukemia; there is 20-fold increased risk of developing acute B lymphoblastic leukemias and 500-fold increased risk of acute myeloid leukemias. The latter, most commonly, is acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. • Virtually all patients with trisomy 21 older than age 40 develop neuropathologic changes characteristic of Alzheimer disease, a degenerative disorder of the brain. • Patients with Down syndrome have abnormal immune responses that predispose them to serious infections, particularly of the lungs, and to thyroid autoimmunity, causing hypothyroidism .
