Intellectual disability and Down Syndrome – common genetics?
See this recent post to link to Challenges faced in managing dementia in Alzheimer’s disease in patients with Down syndrome - a literature review aimed to look at the management of DAD (dementia in Alzheimer's disease) in people with Down syndrome.

An investigation which aimed to understand the genetic basis for Down Syndrome has led to the identification of a gene which controls the formation of neural circuits in the brain.
New research led by Associate Professor Julian Heng, Head of the Brain Growth and Disease Laboratory at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, has identified a genetic factor which could be significant for intellectual disability as well as Down Syndrome ...
These findings were recently published in the Nature press journal, Scientific Reports:
