people who have down's syndrome are usually mentally challenged and they share similar facial characteristics.
Other Answers:
There are different syndromes caused the chromosomal error. Like Down's syndrome, Angel syndrome. They have bad hearts, extra large tongues.
It's in their genes.
Because it runs in your family.
Maybe it's the same chromosones that they are missing.
it is due to genetics
I believe you are referring to Down's Syndrome. This is a chromosomal mutation (non disjunction of the 23rd chromosome, i believe) that not only causes abnormal mental development, but also creates a certain "look".
Not all retarded people have Down's Syndrome, however.
those are just signs of downs syndrom, short toes, slanty eyes, probably God made it so we know them when we see them, and watch out for them, they can truelly teach us many things, they are happy about everything
If your referring to persons with Down's Syndrome, it's caused by a genetic mutation in the persons DNA (also called
Trisomy-21)!
They say, the mind collapses from within, certain elements which are required to fullfill the creation of tissues go back to zero stage, if it were to happen with all and entire human population, same would be the result. Just the chemical balance totally gone haywire - permanently. Like you see in blind people, almost the same characteristics develop. Hope though this relates to neuro science and medicine, perhaps you got the picture. Most are blessed. Thank God.
I have always wondered that too. I thought maybe it's a lost gene. Like a remnant of the missing link in humans popping up every once in a while. Or a more primitive species of human that melted into modern human populations long ago. It could be analogous to how Chimpanzees ( to us) look alike.
because specific mental disorders cause specific symptoms, some of which include specific facial characteristics.
