Down Syndrome: ICD-10-CM Coding. Down syndrome is a genetic condition in which a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21 (normally, individuals have 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell); thus, the name “trisomy 21.”. This condition, nondisjunction, is an error in cell division that occurs at conception.

They may have hearing problems and problems with the intestines, eyes, thyroid and skeleton.the chance of having a baby with down syndrome increases as a woman gets older. Down syndrome cannot be cured.
Down syndrome is set of mental and physical symptoms that result from having an extra copy of chromosome 21. Even though people with down syndrome may have some physical and mental features in common, symptoms of down syndrome can range from mild to severe.
Individuals with Down syndrome may have delayed mental and social development, congenital heart defects, dementia, vision problems, gastrointestinal problems, hearing problems, sleep disturbance, and hypothyroidism. The number and severity of the conditions will vary from patient to patient. 1.
There are three, specific varieties of Down syndrome: 1. Nonmosaic Trisomy 21, also called meio tic nondisjunction, results in an extra chromosome in every cell of the body.
The number and severity of the conditions will vary from patient to patient.#N#There are three, specific varieties of Down syndrome:#N#1. Nonmosa ic Trisomy 21, also called meiotic nondisjunction, results in an extra chromosome in every cell of the body. This is the most common form of Down syndrome, occurring in most patients with the condition (more than 90 percent of the time).#N#2. Mosaic Trisomy 21, also defined as mitotic nondisjunction, results in an extra chromosome in some cells, while others cells are normal.#N#3. Translocation Trisomy 21 means that part of chromosome 21 is attached (translocated) onto another chromosome, either before or after conception. This results in the usual two pairs of chromosome 21, but there is also additional material from chromosome 21 attached to the translocated chromosome. This is the only type of Down syndrome that can be inherited.
