Down Syndrome-Connect Registry

Information

Down Syndrome-Connect (DS-Connect®) is for people living with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome (DS), including people with mosaic DS and partial trisomy 21. All of the health data collected by DS-Connect® are related to the health issues of people with DS.

A registry can:

  • Speed up research in DS by collecting information that scientists can use
  • Help scientists learn why people with DS have different symptoms
  • Help healthcare providers improve how they treat people with DS
  • Advance our understanding about how and why certain treatments work or don’t work by quickly publicizing the results of studies on DS
  • Help scientists develop and test new treatments for people with DS Encourage new scientists to conduct research on DS
