• Abstract

  Down Syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic disorder in the population. Muscle hypotonicity is one of the main characteristic of this syndrome, resulting in an impairment of speech, swallowing and chewing in this population. In addition, pharyngeal hypotonicity will favor total or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep, resulting in snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), whi…

• Abstract

  Introduction: Down Syndrome (DS), caused by the chromosome 21 trisomy, is a more frequent genetic abnormality in the population, with one case in each 319 to 1,000 births. Its main phenotypic aspects are intellectual deficiency in varying degrees, short stature, generalized muscular hypotonia, craniofacial dysmorphia, and congenital heart diseases. Other comorbidities may be associated wi…

  Effects of the mandibular advancement oral appliance (MOA) on the biodynamics of masticatory muscles, physiological sleep variables, sleep disturbances, and body fat distribution in patients with Down Syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Down Syndrome (SD), also known as Trisomy 21, is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra-chromosome 21. This condition is the most frequent chromosomal abnormality, particularly associated with an intellectual disability. Its incidence is around 1 in each 700 neonates. This genetic disorder is attributed to the trisomy (92 to 95% of the cases), the mosaici…
