Trisomy Awareness Month – March 2023

Trisomy Awareness Month is observed in March. It is a congenital disorder that occurs when there are three copies of a chromosome instead of the typical two. Down syndrome is one of the most well-known manifestations of trisomy, where chromosome 21 is copied. Trisomy 16, with chromosome 16 getting copied thrice, is the most commonly occurring trisomy during pregnancy. In modern times, as we learn to celebrate peoples of all kinds, it is wonderful to see adults with trisomy live full lives. They are accepted in the workforce too.  To obtain further information please go TRISOMY AWARENESS MONTH -March 2023 - National Today
