[Alakaline phosphatase levels in down's syndrome (author's transl)]. 1976

M A González Sotos

Levels of serum alkaline phosphatase activity were determined in a sample of 110 individuals affected by Down's syndrome, and in a sample of 299 healthy persons, males and females. The age of both populations was from 6 to 28. They were located in Madrid, but hailing from several Spanish provinces. Levels are higher for all age groups than those in the control population. Differences between both populations are statistically significant in the following age groups: from 6 to 8, 11 to 13 and 14 to 16. Other studies on alkaline phosphatase in various tissues were examined and the possible significance of this finding is discussed.

D002648	Child	A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL.	Children
D004314	Down Syndrome	A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra CHROMOSOME 21 or an effective TRISOMY for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include HYPOTONIA, short stature, BRACHYCEPHALY, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, single transverse palmar crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
