Down syndrome (DS) is the most common neurogenetic aneuploid disorder leading to intellectual disability. It typically arises from an extra copy of chromosome 21, causing deregulated gene expression in the brain and subnormal intellectual functioning. This volume delves into neurogenomics, exploring how the genome influences neurodevelopmental cognitive disorders like DS. It examines the development, structure, and function of the nervous system in the context of DS.
