Background: There are several approaches to solve the problems of many pathological processes’ correction, such as clinical pathology and experiment in modern science. At the same time, genetically-conditioned diseases usually demand researchers’ attention and generalization of earlier information for making the correction foundation of their manifestations in the future. Down’s syndrome is considered to be one. Our objective was to review existing literature regarding physiological and morphological peculiarities of children with Down’s syndrome.
