Overview

Common risk factors involved in the development of Down syndrome include maternal smoking, increased maternal age, impaired recombination of chromosome 21, impaired folate metabolism and oral contraceptive pills (OCPs). Less common risk factors leading to the development of Down syndrome include genomic instability in mothers, radiation exposure, low socioeconomic status and maternal obesity.

Risk factors

The following are the risk factors for developing Down syndrome:
