  • Acording to the internet there have only been 6 cases of babies born alive with monosomy 21, ever!

    There is a website for people with rare diseases called NORD. They have discussion boards and you can get emails every day. My three children, grandson and I hare a rare genetic disorder and I used to be part of NORD discussion boards. It started turning into mainly 'normal' people giving their symptoms and expecting others to diagnose them with a rare disease. I got bored with it. It may meet your needs.

  • I have a son with special needs. He is undiagnosed, but strongly suspected of having some type of mitochondrial disorder.
