    Down syndrome is a chromosomal condition caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is the most common chromosome abnormality in humans. There are three main causes of Down syndrome: trisomy 21, which accounts for over 90% of cases and involves three copies of chromosome 21; mosaic Down syndrome, which is rare and involves an extra copy of chromosome 21 in only some cells; and translocation Down syndrome, which occurs when part of chromosome 21 attaches to another chromosome. Treatment focuses on managing associated medical conditions, while physical activity can provide benefits like improved self-esteem and reduced pain levels.
