<p>Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have identified a gene that causes heart defects in Down syndrome, a condition that results from an additional copy of chromosome 21.</p> <p>Reducing the overactivity of this gene partially reversed these defects in mice, setting the scene for potential future therapies for heart conditions in people with Down syndrome.</p>

Influx of water and salts propel immune cells

<p>Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, working with Imperial College London, King&rsquo;s College London and University of Cambridge, have shown that an influx of water and ions into immune cells allows them to migrate to where they&rsquo;re needed in the body. &nbsp;</p>

Study Shows Genetic Basis Of Facial Changes In Down Syndrome

They found that having a third copy of the gene Dyrk1a and at least three other genes was responsible for changes in development that result in ‘craniofacial dysmorphology’, which shows up as shortened back-to-front length and widened diameter of the
