Please google fragil X syndrome, there you will find out about this genetic  condition, it is not Downs syndrome altho there are a lot of similarities,  in that it is a chromesone defect of the x chromesone. In Downs you have an extra chromesone.  Fragil x is not that uncomman , but can be genetic and passed on.  Downs is not usually genetic.  I have heard of whole families affected with fragil X, usually the best answer there, is to be rendered childless. There is no cure as of yet.
