Mental Retardation (MR) is a cognitive impairment affecting 3 per cent of global population. Down syndrome (DS) is the major genetic cause of MR and contributes to about 30 per cent of all moderate-to-severe cases of MR. This invalidating aspect of DS has hard impacts in public health and poses significant challenges for clinicians and scientists.
