Down Syndrome

Information about Down Syndrome: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Down Syndrome

Most recent studies have shown that Down Syndrome shares some biological mechanisms with alzheimers-disease, aneuploidy, autistic-disorder, complete-trisomy-18-syndrome, congenital-abnormality, congenital-heart-defects, cytogenetic-abnormality, dementia, embryonic-mosaic, fetal-diseases, heart-diseases, heart-septal-defects, high-risk-pregnancy, leukemia, malignant-neoplasms, neoplasms, trisomy, turner-syndrome.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Down Syndrome, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Brain Development, Cell Adhesion, Cell Cycle, Cell Death, Cell Proliferation, Cognition, Fertilization, Immune Response, Interphase, Localization, Meiosis, Meiosis I, Meiosis Ii, Metaphase, Neurogenesis, Pathogenesis, Secretion, Short-term Memory, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Down Syndrome, such as AFP, APOE, APP, DHDDS, DHPS, DSCAM, DYRK1A, GATA1, MAPT, MTHFR, NT5E, NTM, NTS, PAPPA, PRPH2, PSEN1, RCAN1, SOD1, TRIM26. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
