WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY
In 2006, The Down Syndrome Association of Singapore launched the WDSD website as there was so little information available about Down Syndrome available to the general public.
.
In 2012, World Down Syndrome Day, 3/21 was officially observed by the United Nations to raise awareness of Down Syndrome. 3/21 signifies the uniqueness of the triplication, (3) trisomy of the 21st chromosome, which is the cause of Down syndrome.
