Dog Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 After reading that Ross Kemp has Down's Syndrome, but a very mild form of Translocation Down Syndrome, this is a very rare form of Down Syndrome and only occurs in 3-4% of babies. I have been taking note whilst reading newspapers and watching TV, that quite a few celebs or famous people have in fact the Down's gene. If you cover the hair up and concentrate on the face, you will see what I mean. Who else would you put on the DS list? Ross Kemp Martin Clunes Jamie Oliver Damien Duff

bridge too far Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Sorry for going off at a tangent, but there was a fascinating programme on BBC1 last night http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-14459843 It's about babies born with an indeterminate sex. It's far more common than we might realise. The topic was handled very sensitively (none of your freak show treatment here) "A child that is born neither male or female is a rare occurrence but babies born with some form of Disorder of Sex Development (DSD) happens in one in every 1,500 births, according to the support group Accord Alliance." "In a major city as many as 100,000 people will have a disorder of sex development of some sort. Some DSDs are not obvious at birth because they affect the internal organs and can go undiagnosed for years."

Badger Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Hislop and Paul Merton. Dennis Wise, although more of a pinhead than down's syndrome perhaps.
scotty Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Susan Boyle I think I read somewhere that she actually is.
Crab Lungs Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 I think I read somewhere that she actually is. In a roundabout way, is that a #win for my suggestion?
