Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most common genetic disorders in the world, with an estimated incidence of 1 per 600-1,000 live births. Its origin is in 95% of the cases due to the presence of an additional copy of chromosome 21, followed by translocation (2%–4%) and isochromosomal mosaicism (1–2%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
