Many of you have posed a similar question to this: " How do you become

less 'Down Syndrome' as you grow with mosaicism? " (Many have asked this

in regards to my situation in particular.) Here is part of your answer.

And it is a reliable source. Check it out. <br>

This " may " (?) also explain to some why initially there is a diagnosis

of " Trisomy 21 " on a low cell count, but with a more quantitative count

down the road, the numbers change. <br> Perhaps (?) this is why us as

parents either have a low level, a low undetectable level, or a hidden

mosaicism. As we age, the cells constantly hange and these trisomic

cells may settle ANYWHERE in our body. <br>
