�Today's Vice
Presidential nomination of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, mother of a
child with Down syndrome, brings national tending to the
approximately 350,000 individuals with Down syndrome living in the
United States.
The Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation (DSRTF), a
not-for-profit organization in existence since 2004, is the leading private
source of financing for Down syndrome cognitive research in the US.
Groundbreaking research results made possible as a result of DSRTF
support have provided promise that cognitive issues, involving
memory, erudition and linguistic process, as intimately as Alzheimer's disease, can
now be addressed for individuals with Down syndrome.
The enquiry
that DSRTF supports also has a direct and broad applicability to the
general population, particularly regarding the study of
atherosclerotic disease and solid tumor cancers, such as breast and
colon cancer.
