The cause of the high degree of variability in cognition and behavior among individuals with Down syndrome (DS) is unknown. We hypothesized that birth defects requiring surgery in the first years of life (congenital heart defects and gastrointestinal defects) might affect an individual's level of function.

Kelly, Bridget Turner; Bhangal, Naseeb K. – New Directions for Student Leadership, 2018
