Trisomy 21 causes changes in the circulating proteome indicative of chronic autoinflammation.

TL;DR: Results from proteomics approaches are consistent with the hypothesis that increased interferon signaling caused by T21 leads to chronic immune dysregulation, and justify investigations to define the therapeutic value of immune-modulatory strategies in DS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seizure frequency and characteristics in children with Down syndrome.

TL;DR: A regional study reinforces the relative association of seizures and Down syndrome and recommends a prospective study including a national/international registry with emphasis on developmental assessment and long-term follow up.
