Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Down syndrome is a congenital condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. It can result in mental retardation, developmental delays, and physical characteristics such as slanted eyes and a flattened face. Cesarean section, ectopic pregnancy, and jaundice are not necessarily associated with mental retardation in newborns.
