Down syndrome or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. [3] It is usually associated with developmental delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and characteristic physical features. [1] [12] There are three types of Down syndrome, the ...

Human coronaviruses are capable of causing illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS, fatality rate ~34%). SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh known coronavirus to infect people, after 229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1, MERS-CoV, and the original SARS-CoV.
Middle East respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus ( MERS-CoV ), [1] or EMC/2012 ( HCoV-EMC/2012 ), is the virus that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). [2] [3] It is a species of coronavirus which infects humans, bats, and camels. [4] The infecting virus is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which enters ...
Betacoronavirus (β-CoVs or Beta-CoVs) is one of four genera ( Alpha -, Beta-, Gamma-, and Delta-) of coronaviruses. Member viruses are enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses that infect mammals, including humans. The natural reservoir for betacoronaviruses are bats and rodents. Rodents are the reservoir for the subgenus Embecovirus, while bats ...
Down syndrome research. Research of Down syndrome-related genes is based on studying the genes located on chromosome 21. In general, this leads to an overexpression of the genes. [1] [2] Understanding the genes involved may help to target medical treatment to individuals with Down syndrome. It is estimated that chromosome 21 contains 200 to 250 ...
