Down’s Syndrome birth rate increase (UK)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

More babies are being born with Down’s Syndrome than before pre-natal screening for the disorder was introduced at the end of the 1980s, it was revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents appear more willing to bring a Down’s child into the world than they used to be, research shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many are taking the decision because those affected by the syndrome are more accepted in society today and their quality of life has improved, according to a new survey.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the widespread introduction of screening for Down’s syndrome in 1989, the number of babies born with the condition in the UK each year fell from 717 to 594 at the start of this decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2000, the birth rate has increased, reaching 749 in 2006, the latest year for which figures are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

Figures from the National Down’s Syndrome Cytogenetic Register show that the proportion of new born children with Down’s syndrome rose by around 15% between 2000 and 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around one in every 1,000 babies born has Down’s Syndrome, an incurable genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its physical effects include a characteristic “flat” face and slanting eyes, short stature, heart defects, and poor sight and hearing. People with Down’s Syndrome also have moderate to severe degrees of learning disability.<\/span><\/p>\n

A blood test or ultrasound scan is used to tell if a pregnant woman is at risk of having a child with Down’s. This can be followed by more invasive tests which take samples of fluid from the womb or placental tissue to show definitively if a child has the syndrome. At either stage a decision may be taken whether or not to continue with the pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Down’s Syndrome Association, in conjunction with the BBC, conducted a survey of 1,000 of its members to find out why so many were choosing to have Down’s children despite the availability of pre-natal screening. The findings will be featured in the documentary “Born with Down’s Syndrome” to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 8pm On Sunday. <\/span><\/p>\n
