    People with mosaic Down syndrome have a mixture of cells. Some have two copies of chromosome 21, and some have three. Mosaic Down syndrome occurs in about 2 percent of all Down syndrome cases. People with mosaic Down syndrome often, but not always, have fewer symptoms of Down syndrome because some cells are normal.

    The 3 x $21 Challenge

         … start a chain reaction with an impact

    There is very little known about mosaic Down syndrome and the only way to discover what mosaic Down syndrome means for each individual is to conduct more research in all areas of mDs. Please help us as we raise unprecedented funds in the name of research.

    The challenge to you is to find 3 (or more!) individuals that can give $21 in the name of research. Once they accept, you then pass the challenge down to them and remind them to challenge their friends to challenge others. It is quite simple and potentially game-changing!

    Save the Date: September 1st through October 31st

    We’d like you to meet…. Ella!

    Ella recently turned 9, in May and lives in Birmingham, UK

    Ella having mDs means: determination, exceeding expectations, setting new challenges.

    Ella enjoys life, she is full of character and has many interests. She dances at the local dance school, Free- Style, Tap and Ballet.

    Ella attends swimming lessons and has achieved 50 meters.

    Ella is a sociable child, loves being with children and attends her local Brownies group.

    Ella's enthusiasm for performance has helped with her social skills and confidence. She goes to a Musical Theatre group which she adores. In July they are performing in Theatre , Bugsy Malone. Ella is fully involved and busy rehearsing as 'an auditionee', 'paperboy' and ' a 'down and out'.

    Her zest for being in front of the camera has lead to her greatest achievement, receiving a Modelling Contract in the UK. Ella sees herself as a Model in the future and hopes to break down negative attitudes towards people with "hidden disabilities".

    At a young age of 9, Ella has demonstrated that a disability doesn't determine who you are. Ella wants all children to see ABILITY in disABILITY!


    If you or a loved one with mDs would like to feature in Hello, nice to meet you please get in touch here.

    Depression, Stress, and Down Syndrome

    Multi-method Approach to Assessment

    A Research Project by Ruth Brown, PhD, Virginia Commonwealth University

    The International Mosaic Down Syndrome Association is excited to announce the launch of a new research project focused on stress and depression in people with mosaic Down syndrome. The project is the work of Ruth Brown, PhD, a Research Associate at Virginia Commonwealth University. The results of this study will help families and individuals obtain correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment which would otherwise go undetected.

     Dr. Ruth Brown

    When asked about her work Ruth said, “I attended my first IMDSA research retreat weekend in 2013 at the invitation of Dr. Jackson-Cook, and shortly after we began developing a grant proposal to study stress and depression with people with mosaic and full Down syndrome. I’m so pleased that after years of perseverance and the continued support of the IMDSA, the project has finally been fully funded! I'm also excited to work with some really great people on the project, including Drs. Colleen Jackson-Cook, Ananda Amstadter, and George Capone.

    My motivation for this project stems from previous research that shows that people with Down syndrome are more likely to experience stress and depression than the general population, but are less likely to be properly diagnosed and receive appropriate treatment. The goals of this study are to improve existing patient-report tools for screening and diagnosing stress and depression for use with people with mosaic and full Down syndrome and to see if we can identify biological markers of stress and depression. Improving the identification of stress and the diagnosis of depression is vital to improve the state of research and treatment of mental health of people with Down syndrome.

    Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to seeing you at a future IMDSA Research Retreat!”

    Ruth Brown has been a long-time supporter and friend of IMDSA and we are delighted that she has successfully secured the funding to make this study a reality. Ruth will be able to start collecting new data at this year's Research and Retreat Weekend in Ohio.

We are looking for volunteers to help further this aim and would love to expand our program. You’ll be given lots of support from the IMDSA team and can take things a step at a time so there really is nothing to fear if you get involved.
