How it is inherited: Down Syndrome can not be inherited if you have the disease you are born with it and it never goes away. It is caused by a mistake in cell division during the development of the egg, sperm or embreyo.

Down Syndrome is caused by trisomy 21. A person with trisomy 21 has three copies of chromosome 21, the usual would be only two copies. Mosaic Down Syndrome,is a rare form of Down Syndrome.
