It is one of the medical world’s most rare and debilitating illnesses. As its common name says‚ Stone Man’s Disease causes “bone tissue begins to grow where muscles‚ tendons‚ and other connective tissues should be‚ effectively restricting movement” (Torres‚ 2013).

This is called a trisomy; you will often hear Down Syndrome be referred to as trisomy 21. The extra chromosome causes problems with the way the body and brain develop. Down Syndrome is also referred to as
