From the Paper:

"Children with Down syndrome experience a wide range of health problems. According to Terry J. Hassold and David Patterson in 'Down Syndrome A Promising Future, Together', children with Down syndrome can experience, "congenital problems ranging from cataracts, heart disease and anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract as well as a predisposition to get infections". Because children with Down syndrome have such a wide range of health problems there has been a lot of interest in finding ways to improve their quality of life. The idea of using nutritional/vitamin therapy for children with Down syndrome has been an area of interest for a number of years."
